The author of "Conscience of a hacker" wanted us to understand that we are all different. In the real life we always get judged. People might not tell us but, maybe inside their head there always judging you on how you look or on what you do. You should never stop on what you do even though you get judged.
How the person became a hacker was by school. He found a computer and liked how it worked. "I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... or feels threatened by me... or thinks I'm a smart ass... or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here. Damn kid. All he does is play video games. They're all alike." (Paragraph 4). Everyone has there own interest and people learn from their mistakes. Some people might judge you by what you do but, you should not care and do what you like.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You might stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... , were all alike." (Paragraphs 9 &10). We might be alike, but we are not everyone likes to do something different. People might try to stop you, but if you are happy on what you are doing is impossible to stop you on what you like to do. You should not listen or just ignore the people that jugge because if you listen to them you would never be a happy person because you wouldnt do what you like, but what others like. So, just follow what you like. 🙂
