#3It seems they are confusing hackers with hacks. I've often found that hackers deliver better quality code than process hacks. It's probably going to be a hacker that finds out for you that you have an Xss problem that is exposing your clients information

#4This is such a welcome change. There's nothing wrong with "hacking" and being a "hacker", but it truly does connote the idea of fiddling with something until it works and then saying "tadaa!"
As a developer (and sometimes developer lead), I strongly prefer a process wherein "hacking" is only the first step. As the old adage goes:
1. Make it work
2. Make it right
3. Make it fast
"Hacking" is only step 1. We've all seen the results of a codebase where there is no step 2 or 3.

#5Fair enough, but you may want to consider hiring a designer who can make the text on your website and blog legible on systems that aren't retina MacBooks or similar.
The low contrast between font and background (especially on the site proper, where it is mostly grey on grey, more so than the blog) combined with the font's thinness makes the text really fall apart when viewed at lower resolutions or on non-IPS panels.

"Get off our website you non retina plebeian."

Hackers solve problems. Hacks defer them.
That said, I really like their sentiment; our company is filled with shirts and signs that say "Build" as a contrast to "Hack," because some things are actually important to do right, not just fast.

Weird that it works fine on my 6-year-old Dell laptop.

#9Interesting. Maybe they should hire a small training department to teach their programmers how not to be hackers.

You don't get any broken loops on lower-case 'g's?
