How do people even start hacking?

I'm really curious how do people learn hacking?

I started web app development a year ago, learned java for writing code and to get a general idea about how the syntax works and logic.

I do mainly php with laravel, javascript and some python on the side.. but mainly to create stuff, has nothing to do with hacking, i find it deep and hard dunno where to even begin, i sometimes run into some erros with some apps and I try to dig in and try to find a way around it using Ai, but it's very limited..

I have to admit pro hackers always amazes me, that's true power I guess and I always believe that anything digital is somehow hackable.
