Hackers aren't just animals in a hoodie slapping at a keyboard until the lights turn green. Hackers are people that bend systems to their will. They see what exists and say "that won't do" rather than continuing to use a half broken process. Some people hack computers. Some people hack cars to have higher fuel capacity. Some people hack their community to fight injustice. It's about bending the rules and connecting the dots.
I am a hacker. You can be one too.
