The thing is that as hacker is a cool word, people tend to become cool by bending reality. It&#x27;s the same as renaming Ecmascript to Javascript because Java is cool. However I do believe that yes, having curiosity and passion to modify the inner working of things could be called hacking, the banalization of the term is something sad. Like a &#x27;project for hackers&#x27;. Sorry, but you don&#x27;t need to be a hacker to use it. If this project be necessary to accomplish something at your work, you&#x27;ll need to learn the minimum, thus not configuring a &#x27;hacker&#x27; way of doing it. Of course is somewhat hard to expect someone to agree with me, as I am at &#x27;Hacker News&#x27; right now, hehe.
