@AleCx04 Wow I didn't know that! Guess you learn something new everyday lol
-
@AleCx04 "was" which means it doesnt anymore.
-
@Sourcerer still is for the people that know.
-
@AleCx04 which is a minority i'd assume
-
@Sourcerer it certainly is man.
-
@AleCx04 beside from that. how do you differentiate between a developer and a hacker?
-
@Sourcerer I normally don't. I geneeally follow the context in which the term is being used and just switch the meaning for whatever the person that used the term meant. So if someone is giving a pen testing tutorial and say hacker I will know what they mean. If on a talk someone says (for example) Python hacker or use phrases like "happy hacking!" where the overall context involves coding then that pretty much settles it for me.
I used to have a friend who swore that his dad worked with a gubernamental hacking agency. One day we started talking about my personal programming projects and he asked why I wouldn't say that I was a hacker and not a programmer, he believed that calling yourself a hacker was better. I explained to him that a hacker was not the same as a programmer or as a developer. We got into an argument and then I realized that if his dad truly worked in a hacking agency, he would know the difference *facepalm*
