Nice to meet you for the first time! People who know the Hello! This is Atie! Actually, when I tweeted about hackers before Hacker = hacker Many people thought that, so I wrote it to solve the misunderstanding!

What is a hacker?

What do you think of when you hear the word "hacker"? "Hackers" "Bad people" "People who rattle in a dark room" I think there are various However The true meaning of "hacker" is completely different

The true meaning of a hacker

Let's start with "hacking"

Actually, there are roughly two types of hacking.

Well, one is a basketball foul, and there is only one type called "hacking" ... (basketball club)

The other is "hacking" of computers etc. Actually, the etymology of this hacking originally started when the students thought of a unique "mischief". It is said that the etymology is that the students called it "hacking" (there are various theories). And they called themselves "hackers"

This was the beginning

In fact, a hacker is not a "bad person"

"People with advanced technology"

It means that Because the media and others have called hackers hackers. Hacker = bad person There are many people who misunderstand that

A "cracker" is a person who actually hacks and commits a criminal act. On the other hand, "white hackers" are those who strengthen security. And "hacker" is used when calling including these Is called

But other than that, the word "hacker" is used. "Hackers" are "highly skilled people", so the only people who hack are not hackers. People who make great tools are also called hackers.

Mr. Matsumoto who actually made "Ruby" is called a "hacker". However, Mr. Matsumoto did not make "Ruby" because he wanted to be a "hacker", but just because he wanted something useful. And people around me came to be called "hackers."

A hacker is not a bad thing, but a "highly skilled person" People who are called "hackers" didn't make anything because they wanted to be "hackers."

How to be a hacker

I will explain how to become a hacker Roughly

・ Learn one thing ・ Develop the skills of what you have learned ・ Recognized by others and called "hacker"

These three However I think it's important to note that "hackers" aren't just about IT. Since it is "a thing with advanced technology", I think that craftsmen etc. also apply to "hackers" However, the hackers described here are a way to become "hackers" in IT.

Learn one thing

For example JS Python C language Go DB Security

Anything is fine Let's wear something that will be your "weapon"

Develop technology

Once you've put on your own weapon, all you have to do is stretch it out! For example, JS

・ Try to create a service like Twitter ・ Try to automate everyday things ・ Get a job

And so on When you wear your own "weapon", stretch it out and stretch it out!

Recognized by others

Lastly, if you acquire advanced technology and make effective use of it, you will naturally be called a "hacker" by those around you. If you come to be called a "hacker", it's proof that your technique has been recognized.

Finally

Today's article was a bit short, but I think I was able to write a way to become a "hacker" I'm not a "hacker" yet, but I'll do my best to become a "hacker" Let's all do our best! !!
