Painter envy?
Paul Halmos, 1967: Mathematicians are like painters.
Paul Graham, 2003: Hackers are like painters.
Hackers and mathematicians both wish the world understood them better. If I want someone to understand me better, I'll refer them to Halmos. If I want someone to give me money, I'll refer them to anything but Halmos.
