HACKER

The hacking subculture evolved almost alongside the rise of computing machines in the 60s and 70s. “Hacking” as is popularly defined, is the clever use of technology and programing to solve what seem to be hard problems (not to be confused with what the popular media calls hackers – People who break into computer systems for evil).

The emphasis of the hacker culture is on cleverness and excellence. Along with the social good of doing something meaningful and exciting, hacking has risen to prominence in the mainstream culture.

HACKER CULTURE

The “hacker culture” is quite popular in silicon valley, which has a rich history of producing technology geniuses.

From Bill Gates who started hacking away at Basic at a very young age to Mark Zuckerberg, who’s letter to the shareholders at Facebook’s IPO was called The Hacker Way, lots of technology pioneers who’ve changed the world have come from this culture.
