A Hack is a solution to a real world problem
  - a solution that has been devised and
  implemented in a time or resource

Scratch your own itch!
• Every good work of
software starts by
scratching a
developer’s personal
itch.

• To solve an
interesting
problem, start by
finding a problem
that’s interesting to
you.

the Bazaar, Eric
