I think hacking in a sense of having a problem and piecing together a solution is the context they were going for (much like hackernews) vs traditional escalation type hacking.
- fapjacks 9y agoSure, but the term for this is "problem solving" and calling it "hacking" is disingenuous. I am not a big fan of the crowds that co-opt terminology for sort of superficial (e.g. marketing) reasons. I'm a bit hypocritical about it, because I think rms has historically done extremely well with this tactic, pushing ideals that I agree with. But there are other groups which do this that grinds on my soul.
