I haven't even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they're already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you'd be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?
Having the hood up gives you a temporary +2 boost to hacking
This is true. It even works for non-hacking developers.
I once wore two hoodies and my code compiled on the first try.
