Not to derail the thread, but I believe this has as much to do with hacking as most stuff on Hacker News. It's unfortunate the term doesn't extend to Designers

Not to derail the thread, but I believe this has as much to do with hacking as most stuff on Hacker News. It's unfortunate the term doesn't extend to Designers going beyond the minimum required by their profession because I believe they have the same curiosity and spirit that drives extraordinary programmers to become "hackers". After all, the guy just redesigned the American currency.
