The term hacker seems to be enjoying great popularity, with websites like HackerNews, HackerNoon, HackerRank, recruiting events like HackerX or the all-too-familiar and ever prevalent "hackathons". It's a hacking bonanza.

I have never referred to myself a hacker and every time a go to a HackerX event or a hackathon I feel uncomfortable and out of place.

When are we going to be past this hacking tomfoolery, hacking "culture", hackers, hackathons?
