Is computer hacking as hard as it sounds?
Well, if by hacking you mean cracking (i.e. breaking into a computer system) 9 times out of 10 the decisive factor is nothing technical. It is more a matter of smooth-talking a person out of a password. But if what you’re talking about is writing an elegant piece of code which is brilliant in its simplicity, then yes, that can be hard. It really depends on the person. Some people have a natural ability with logic and design that will give them an easier path. Others will struggle for years and get nowhere. If you try to write code and find it tedious rather than fun, then give it up, for the best coders will always be those that do it for the love of code.
