That statement is really shows how big of a dick you are, like come on man, it's just a game. Without learning game cheats and writing trojans and botnets since 14, although I'm kind of clean now, I wouldn't have mastered C++, C# and Java together and later get deep into computer science (and cybersecurity to some extent).

I disagree. Cheating in singleplayer games is fine, but you're ruining the experience of others when hacking in multiplayer games.

What I meant was, cheating can be a good learning experience to programming for a lot of kids, because they get immediate feedback and rewards. At least that's what I see it as.

I'm with you, but the environment they cheat in matters. Learning to hack with CTFs is great, but against real targets? Of course, I'm overplaying the severity of cheating a bit, but the point still stands.
