A good wizard, so(u)rcerer*, shaman, cleric, knows that there exists many planes of existence and that most individuals are only aware of some of them. And that varies from person to person due to a number of factors. So to is our world like that. I meet people who can only manipulate computers on one or two levels. I am free to work at all levels. I work on the hardware, I work on the software, the people, the businesses, I can also design them from scratch. I can create digital or analog wizardry (or so it would seem to some). Now that can be viewed in a many a different light, depending on one's perspective. I of course come at it from a divine perspective. God is at the root of it all. When you have seen proof of that. You've been at root. And that's what it's like to be a real, true hacker. So I have stopped thinking of myself as a hacker but as a sourcerer...i create source code...I program computers through software languages or even at the semi-conductor/base hardware level. And not just computers. I know stuff about analog.

*Note: I believe sourcerer is more accurate in that it describe a person who manipulates energy from a source, but the intent comes from the person's inner voice.
