It’s probably time for those of us who program or work in engineering to demand the return of the term “hack”. Just saw a commercial saying personalized Oreos were the “greatest birthday hack.” That’s a product purchase suggestion, not a hack. Saving Apollo 13 with duct tape was a hack. Oreo purchases are a “snack”. Those words rhyme but are not the same thing. I now cede the remainder of my time to those who agree. #hack
