What a confusing way to ostensibly relieve confusion! Every usage of the term "growth hacker" that I've encountered doesn't seem to imply that it means anything other than someone who uses quick and dirty tactics to spur rapid growth. This seems more defensive than anything. I've noticed quite a few articles lately from non-technical workers in the tech industry along the same vein. I've worked as a non-technical worker at a startup before, so I understand the need to justify one's role.
