I’m not a programmer, much less a hacker, but I thought it would be interesting to find out from people that are.

The barrier to entry is sufficiently low that you should at least try to become a hacker -- or even a programmer; you have the requisite curiosity and imagination.

There are many benefits to learning how things work and what's more; you can do it!

Thank you! It's on my plans to learn Python this summer.
