I’d argue that’s exactly what a hacker is. You’re doing something that works and serves a purpose, even though it might not be pretty.

The person who made and first used Electron is a hacker. Everyone now is merely taking the path of least resistance, which is not what a hacker is.

Taking the path of least resistance is very much in the hacker spirit. "I just hacked it together with what I had." Reinventing the wheel, that's for entrepreneurs.
