I agree that hacker-ism is about keeping truth and contempt for authority. A true hacker will create an innovative solution for that problem. Good example is Richard Stallman, when others used law and authority to stop him from hacking, he went on to create GNU, wrote emacs and released it under GPL. Some hackers may write a language or OS, while other hackers may create a business. There is nothing wrong both. It is based on the personality and specific problem they are hacking. The point of this post is that we focus on the positive aspect.
