Well, I guess there is more to being a hacker than just having programming experience. I understand that the post is more than its title, but I couldn’t resist and got triggered by it. For me, it’s about being curious, not taking any technical solution for granted and having the inner need and energy to explore, to experiment, to be skeptical and feeling the drive to improve things … |

I agree with this. I like to learn how things work, and to experiment with all kinds of crazy ideas (some of which end up not being so crazy after all).
I grew up in the 90's where I always heard the term "hacker" used to refer to someone breaking in to a computer or network somewhere, like they were the digital equal of a "cat burglar" or something. Not the usual positive meaning that it has today.
I've been coding for as long as the author of the linked post, and would as result of the above, never refer to myself as a "hacker".
