1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of
programmable systems and how to stretch their
capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer
to learn only the minimum necessary.
RFC1392, the Internet Users' Glossary, usefully
amplifies this as: A person who delights in having
an intimate understanding of the internal workings
of a system, computers and computer networks in
particular.

2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or
who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about
programming.
3. A person capable of appreciating hack value.
4. A person who is good at programming quickly.
5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently
does work using it or on it; as in ‘a Unix hacker’. (Definitions
1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them
congregate.)
6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an
astronomy hacker, for example.
7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively
overcoming or circumventing limitations.
