That article shows that he actually DOES understand the concept of a hacker, he just doesn't think it applies to computer hackers (weird, huh?). He says "a hacker is someone who wants to understand his trade a few levels deeper than everyone else." Um, that could be the tagline for Hacker News - "For people who want to understand their trade a few levels deeper than everyone else". I doubt he's met any of the Great Hackers in the Paul Graham mold - I think pg would be furious if any of his yc people made those UI mistakes. Isn't the ultimate hard problem to "make something people want"?
