I mean, if all you do for a living is email spam then I wouldn&#x27;t call that hacking, but seeing as this is a programming based startup and the marketing attempt required programming skill, I&#x27;m imagining this was put together by the same guy&#x2F;guys that are on other days making new product features. If slapping together a marketing scheme that quickly lets you reach a lot of people without you needing to spend a lot of time optimising or upkeeping it isn&#x27;t hacking then I just straight up don&#x27;t understand how the day setting up a new feature and a day setting up the new spam bot are different conceptually.<p>I don&#x27;t think being an unsophisticated asshole and a hacker are mutually exclusive. Plenty of hacking is unsophisticated and most people are assholes, hacker or otherwise.
