The word hacker has been twisted into oblivion.
Just assume that any mention to 'hacker' in Hacker News has nothing to do with hacking, but with entrepreneurship.
- hermanhermitage 13y agoHeh. Or perhaps hacking out some web based product with no meaningful programming involved but exploiting a customer base/segment...
- joshdance 13y agoYes. It seems the term hacker = entrepreneur with some type of technical knowledge. Which is ok.
- sebinsua 13y agoIt has and it hasn't. There's always been a yin-yang between hacker and hustler here. And I am glad this hasn't been destroyed as there is merit in the frame. We hack and hustle customers and software. We validate the market on both ends: business and product.
