Guest hacks into hotel's network and optimizes their entire system after seeing how slow the WiFi is, refuses to get compensated: 'Manager was torn between being grateful and concerned’

The thing about mastering a skill for work is that you can use that skill for more than just your job. When I used to work in social media, I helped many of my friends and family build their businesses' social media, even if I didn't get anything out of it. I had a skill and I used it to help people I care about, even if I usually get paid for that service.

Anyone who works in any technological field also often finds themselves becoming the designated IT person within their family and friends. No matter how big or small the problem is, you are the one they call. It's one of the best skills to have, if you ask me.

The cool thing about that skill is that you can help people even when they didn't know they needed help, just like the software engineer in the story below did for the hotel he was staying at.
