Expert Progammer vs Expert Hacker

Question

skill comparison ?

Answer 1

Both because I'm a programmer and an expert hacker.

Answer 2

Well, the things that each does are quite a bit different, but if both were in a high pressure situation, probably the hacker would handle it better

Answer 3

A Programmer is someone who can solve problems by by manipulating computer code. They can have a wide range of skill levels—from just being “ok” with basic scripting to being an absolute sorcerer with any language.

A Hacker is someone who makes things. In this context, it’s someone who makes things by programming computers. This is the original, and purest definition of the term, i.e., that you have an idea and you “hack” something together to make it work. It also applies to people who modify things to significantly change their functionality, but less so.
