We live in a world where the slightest mistake is punished harshly. So if you have risen to a high level you become very risk adverse, where as you can screw around to unprecedented levels as a hobbyist.

Also, i used ResEdit to disable all the primitive security in my highschool library computers just to prove to the librarian that they were not, in fact, unhackable.

He listened to my explanation and took action to fix the simple security holes that I as a teen could spot instead of suspending me, something that I don't think would happen today.
