What is a Hacker?
Hacker: Someone who thinks outside the box. Someone who discards conventional wisdom and does something else instead. Someone who looks at the edge and wonders what’s beyond. Someone who sees a set of rules and wonders what happens if you don’t follow them. - Bruce Schneier, courtesy @hackerchick
I like this definition so much because it’s clearly nothing to do with writing code, and can (should?) be applied elsewhere…
