      I was watching a speedrunner live stream, and just the way he thinks…

        The original meaning of the word “hacking” is just “to get something to work in a way it was not meant to work”.

        So the hacker mindset of finding workarounds or unforseen scenarios applies to a lot of things, not just devices and systems (such as games) but also human processes.
