A hacker is someone who thinks outside the box. It’s someone who experiments with the limitations and wonders what’s beyond. It’s someone who, when told things work in a certain way, immediately asks what happens if you do something else. A hacker is someone who breaks the rules to see what happens out of curiosity.
