Hacker's definition
Reality examples
• Someone who enjoys learning details of a programming language or a system;
• Someone who enjoys doing the programming rather than the theory of it;
• Someone capable of appreciating someone else's hacking;
• Someone who picks up programming quickly;
• Someone who is an expert at a particular programming language or system;
In media => "someone who tries to break into computers"
In reality => "a clever programmer“

Hackerspace definition
“ A hackerspace or hackspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace or creative space) is a location where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, digital or electronic art (but also in many other realms) can meet, socialise and/or collaborate. Hackerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things.”
