It seems to be a word much like "the N-word" (bowdlerized for your
comfort) in modern culture; a word with two completely disparate
meanings based on what social context it is used in - out-group or in-group.
I still call clever people "hackers" if I know that the people I hang
out with will understand what I mean. But I "hack something together" no
matter who I'm hanging around.

Same goes for
the word "hacker".
Anyone that uses the old definition of "hacker" these days is a fool.
