class
Hackers tend to come from the working or middle classes. They tend not to
originate from the upper part of the middle class, since the offspring
of wealthy elites tend to be discouraged from pursuing anything which
might resemble engineering.
In terms of class composition anyone you see in the street or in a
supermarket could potentially be a hacker. They don't wear any particular
uniform or look like any particular stereotype.
Most hackers are working class, with no capital income, but some get
offered shares in companies or go into fintech and become partially or
wholly bourgeois.
