Ask HN: How to become a good hacker?
1 comments
Whatever you do: don't just sit back and relax.
If I were you, I'd find a problem you have and try and build something to fix it. Complement that with occasional hacks on existing projects.
To me, being a "hacker" is someone who's never really satisfied. Ask questions about why things are the way they are, and do work to change that.
Good luck.

So since January I've decided to become a hacker. I started reading and learning all that I could find about technologies people use, ruby, htm5, node.js, et cetera.
But what should I do next? Should I keep learning and start working on my own projects? should I join an existing project? Or even worst: should I just sit back and relax?
Because the problem is that I have the soul and knowledge of a hacker, but I have nothing to put my hands on.
Thanks HN for being an amazing inspiration!
