The issue is that you responded to stuff around reasons for being a hacker with a requirement that isn't a requirement for hacking.
Hacking doesn't require something to be built for other people.
Edit: I can’t tell if you’re willfully misreading what I wrote or just trying to be cute. At no point did I assert that nothing should be created without a market. But if you’re creating something for other people then those other people are, by definition, your market, and you should pay close attention to signs that they actually want what you’ve created (like a willingness to trade dollars or time or attention).
