Also I just hate thinking like a hacker. "In what ways can I abuse this software in order to hurt someone else" is just not a mindset that I like to have.

I have absolutely no interest in ruining someone's day, let alone thinking about the different ways in which someone's day could be ruined, and in what versions

(I know there are security researchers out there that like finding and reporting these problems. You're doing great work, it's just not my cup of tea)

@tenderlove I always think of “hacker” like this: “advanced computer technology enthusiast (both hardware and software) and adherent of programming subculture”. It’s a bit sad that pop culture (e.g. movies like “Hackers”) changed the meaning of the term for most people.

Other than this - totally agree with you.
