Comment on How I Hacked My Way from TC to YCparent

Comments

I'm with the original commentary here. Cool -- he upgraded hackathons. I don't see how that in of itself is "hacking" the system. He didn't break ground or do anything crazy. I think people are starting to apply this term too liberally, though I'll admit the complaints (mine included) aren't going to help.

It's almost like one word can have multiple meanings.

You are right and your comment is interesting!

And by interesting I mean irrelevant, because that's what interesting means to me.

would be interested in hearing your take on the word "hack"!

Maybe he's attempting to say that going through all of those hackathons was like using a machete to traverse a dense jungle... ;-)
