Wanting to become a hacker is what got me into programming. Never became a hacker. Now do software dev for a living.

I was a cracker in my early to mid teens. Never malicious, just exploratory. Owned my HS network and college networks. Had a moment when I realized how much I was in for if I was caught, and then just walked away, cold Turkey. Do financial software engineering now. Only crack myself now.
