Hackers are not operators, in the context of hn at least.

If there's anything you see every day on HN, it's people relentlessly arguing about "building what people want", and "solving problems". One of (the?) most popular HN member, patio11, got a lot of this massive amount of karma because he gives a pragmatic and clear view of generating sustainable revenue in business. This is what the HN crowd likes.

The old fairy tale of hackers only focusing of products and ignoring strategy is long gone, and most people here know this.

It's not necessary to differentiate hackers and strategy people.
