“What in the world is a L33T?
Before explaing the meaning of the word L33T, I want to point out that there are various ways in which the word is used, described and written. Due to its varied use, choosing this name for our company ment taking on two big task.
1. Reclaiming and reinvinting the term L33T
2. Living up to the standard we choose to name our company after.
At L33T Tech we believe the word L33T to refer to belief system and a set of standards. To be refered to as “having L33Tness” or being “L33T” should be a honor that is earned over time and dedication. It should seperate “those who have learned” from those “who are always learning”, those that say “that can’t be done”, from those that say “Oh Really? Watch Me.”, and those that believe “6 hours spent diagnosing a problem is a day wasted” from those who believe “the knowledge obtained in those 6 hours are invaluable”.
