so there is zero entry for being a hacker? A hacker is not a term of ability or skill, it's just a general term for someone who does a thing with a piece of software that isn't intended? So someone could become a hacker by accident? I had no idea the term was with so little merit.People are getting confused on the definition between hacker and developer.
-A hacker is someone who accesses data they're not supposed to. By applying a hack (CFW, homebrew, etc...), you by definition are a hacker.
-A developer is someone who develops software.
-Exploit/homebrew developers are the people like smea, who develop (keyword develop!) the hacks for the devices. All exploit/homebrew developers are hackers, but not all hackers are exploit/homebrew developers.
Anyone who applies a hack is a hacker. Anyone who develops a hack is both a hacker and a developer. This is why the people who develop the hacks usually prefer to go by the dev title. It separates them from the people who just apply the hacks. Hopefully this clears things up.
Yes, the term hacker on its own has pretty much no merit. It's just a general term that means somebody who accesses data they're not supposed to using a computer. Guessing somebody's password and logging into their computer technically classifies as a hack, as stupid as it seems.so there is zero entry for being a hacker?

Alright, I have asked @yifan_lu and smea on twitter if they would call me a hacker if I apply hacks developed by others without actual hacking knowledge. They will probably not answer, in which case they think I'm no hacker.
Just wanted to say, I love your sig, and those are the two Switch games I want the most. <3I think hacker should be used for developers who hack and discover exploits for consoles / computers?.
Thanks for calling me a hacker.I consider anyone who can code to be a hacker. So, yes. I am a hacker.
Thank you <3 . Love to you <3.I'm no hacker, but I do go by many names:
Modder. Assembler. Technician. The Wi-Fi God. Developer. Pirate.
But no, hacker is not one of my handles.

Whenever older friends of mine or family has Wi-Fi issues, I reboot their router, and they praise me for "fixing their Wi-Fi".What do you mean with "The Wi-Fi god "?
