The hacker aesthetic, to me, is the ability to look at things differently, whether it’s fashion, design, code, gardening, or any everyday interaction or problem. It’s finding the path between A and B with elegance and brevity, among other things. There is also a sense of community that comes with it. The hacker mindset attracts a wide range of personalities, most of whom are not a part of any other community. The common trait between these personality types is the urge to learn, share, break, and fix.
