"I don't think that (good) hackers have any special, hardwired mental abilities or specific personality traits, and I do believe you can easily learn to think like a hacker, even when you come from a different background." I think the whole idea of hacking is way over-credited, mainly by the hacking subculture itself... "hacker" is obviously just a label that describes a person who performs a certain set of actions, and people talk about it like its something special, like being a "jedi" or something.
