Hacking vs. programming

What’s your

definition?

JUK-2013


More

Hacking vs. programming One opinion I have heard expressed is that a

hacker can put a lot of code together in a hurry but if a change is needed the code has to be completely rewritten.

A programmer may take a little longer but if changes are needed they are more quickly and easily installed without the need for a complete rewrite.

Hacking is usually described as “quick and dirty.”

Programmers research, think ahead, design and implement,Hackers just make the ”fix” and move on

90% of code is overhead Input handling Exception handling & special cases Output presentation Language readiness Joomla has event triggers, but coding is still needed

What if we could easily interject our use case logic

in the right place without modifying existing code

and with no overhead?
