If you're joining a company because it's prestigious and looks good on a resume, instead of because you see the opportunity to do good work and learn from people better than you, you aren't a hacker--you're just some wannabe seeking affirmation.

Not everyone wants to be a "hacker" as you put it. Some people just want a safe career and to make good money. Nothing wrong with that.
