I've been interviewed a couple of times by CBC and other media. Each time I explain what "hackers" means, and it doesn't really go anywhere. The way I see it, we just need more positive "hacker" and maker stories than there are bad ones. In the mean time, don't let it get to you. Just go do good stuff.<br>

You know the term wasn't all that positive in its earlier use. Using hacks instead of doing things right isn't a good thing. (Though it might be good in some cases to trade off time and effort now against future costs.)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Discoveries like the Higgs boson came about in such a way, found (not necessarily the Higgs) by mistake while we were looking for something else. Hacks were also helpful in discovering holes, or breeches in other's software.</div>
