I agree with the earlier post that mentioned that the term "hacker" as a positive term for software engineering, is long dead. Hacking is unprofessional, often malicious and unlawful activities (as far as software and IT goes). Maybe two decades ago, hacking was often a positive term, but there are way way too many professional, expert, amazing good software engineers in 2018 and to glorify the term "hacking" is to debase all the great, highly talented and skillful IT professionals in the world.
That's my view, whatever it's worth.
IMO not entirely true,
AudioScope Project. is probably one of the biggest hacks you have on here... ;oD
It bends a few bash scripting rules... <wink>
But yes, 'tis true hack(ing)(er) is now generally a derogatory term and anyone asking for help to access systems without the required permissions is asking for trouble on here and certainly would not get any help. The same as people asking for reverse-engineering advice to gain access to systems will get the same cold shoulder.
