This feels like one of the quotes that needs to be quoted and I would quote you if I can understand what you mean by "turns out someone else made both" as maybe its me who didn't get its meaning (so can you please explain what you mean by this? thanks in advance!)

I think they mean: turns out someone else made both the computer system and man. They are implying the existence of god.

The hacker and the system share the same maker, so the search was never outside to begin with. Breaking in is ironic, because the hacker is already part of what was created by the superuser they are looking for.
