yeah, i'd argue that in many cases the original meaning of the term "hack" has been co-opted by capitalism
these days i mentally find/replace "hack" with "work", for amusing but arguably far more accurate results: e.g. do i want to go along to a 24-hour workathon for the possibility to win prizes or whatever? nope.
