I think you should read it again, for one it indicates what kind of hacking he means in the opening paragraph. I'm on my phone, I'll write some more when I get home. Edit: Something came up so I don't have the time to write much. I will say that what you object to isn't snark, it's subculture. Subculture isn't around much anymore like it were in the 80s and 90s. Also information wasn't as abundant back then as it is today. I guess people have to decide for themselves if they want to understand or dismiss it, a starting point could be the "cfi-en" package in ubuntu/debian.
