Exactly. Just be responsible and don’t do anything dumb with your security. Do the typical stuff right like using a password manager and updating your software often. With your programming, don’t skip ssl validation, don’t have unauthenticated connections that matter, don’t shell out, etc. On your local system, use permissions correctly, keep a local firewall, and all that good stuff. You should be fine, but it’s never 100%.

I came here to write exactly this. Except a rock. A rock cannot be hacked.

If you think about it, computers are just rocks than humans tricked into thinking.
Rocks can be hacked. Especially rocks.

Technically, anything can be “hacked”, but that’s the same kind of technically as “any car can be broken into”.
Just like there are ways to mitigate getting your car broken into, there are ways to mitigate getting your system compromised.
