Chapter 122 Private Message
Xiang Kun knew that to many people outside of the industry, hackers were the top-notch programmers.
Any title with "customer" in it is considered the highest rank, such as black hackers, red hackers, white hackers, and shock hackers. Titles with "master" in it indicate experts, like engineers or architects, and those with "staff" in it are… well, not the best.
But in fact, there is no hierarchy between top-tier programmers and top-tier hackers; they just specialize and excel in different fields. One would do anything to fulfill and implement requirements, building systems; whereas, the other would strive to discover and exploit loopholes, infiltrating systems. One studies construction, and the other focuses on security.
There isn't a clear boundary between the two. Hackers are a subset of programmers, and a programmer can become a hacker at any time.
It's merely a matter of interest and specialty.
