But in reality, I think anybody can be a hacker in the real world — just think of all the non-software examples, a lot of people ask me what’s the best answer I’ve been given to the vending machine problem, and the real answer is there is none. Some people think about how they’d steal their favorite snack; some people figure out how to steal the entire machine of snacks; and some people figure out how they could add some sort of functionality to the machine that wasn’t there before.

It’s your love, nobody else’s and that’s what matters.
