I'm upvoting for good intent, but what is and what isn't hacker-ish is decided at least partially through up and down votes already. Hacker/non-hacker are very ambiguous terms and will mean something different from one submitter to another

If I had to guess, most of the revamped UX will come in their Wave in a Box project[1]. What we know: a. Lars and his brother Jens have been a team or working colleagues for at least a while (maybe since 1999)[2]. They co-founded Where 2 Te
