I hit option #4, "hacker, but have a life too", but to be honest that life is largely impacted by the other half. You know, the one where I'm leaning back at my desk, hacking away at code. Whether it's at work, off hours reading my Rails book, or taking a wild tangent to it's logical conclusion I find that it just feels right. Writing code, solving problems, and getting things done just seems to be the state where I belong. I have some outlandish, borderline crazy goals in life. Not all of them involve a machine, and most of them do not involve business. Hopefully one day I'll manage to get one of them out there. I like to think that we hackers are more than just programmers, developers or engineers. We have the capacity to learn, dream, and execute. The latter being a key component, but also the hardest to master. This is what we do. Call it what you will.
