> why "hacking" aka "going fast and breaking things" is so glorified

This is not hacking in the proper ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_Manifesto ) sense.

If that is proper definition of hacker, I dont want to have anything to do with that nor understand why would anyone see it as a good thing. Thankfully, there are many other competing definitions around that do not require one share the exact same feelings as this dude.

Just because someone believes he is all there is to hacking and that his personal feelings and gripes should define the word, does not mean we have to buy it.

Many of the "competing" definitions have been made up decades after the manifest e.g. the ominous "growth hacker".

Or the one in "hacker news", for that matter.
