Many of us complain about how ""pointy hair bosses"", ridiculous IT policies, and a culture of complacency make it difficult if not impossible to function successfully as a developer. But how can the person on the low end of the organizational hierarchy make a difference for the better ( without being fired ) ? In this talk, I'll give you some ideas of what I've done in the past to help be a positive agent of change in organizations I've been a part of, and what lessons I've learned from it. We'll look at implementing development tools incognito, engaging with higher-ups, and dealing with the failures that go along the way.

- 8. Hack - In modern computing terminology, a kludge (or often a "hack") is a solution to a problem, doing a task, or fixing a system (whether hardware or software) that is inefficient, inelegant, or even unfathomable, but which nevertheless (more or less) works.
- 10. Life Hack - The term life hack refers to productivity tricks that computer programmers devise and employ to cut through information overload and organize their data. In more recent times, the same phrase has expanded to any sort of trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method to increase productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life. Or, in other words, anything that solves an everyday problem in a clever or non- obvious way might be called a life hack.

- Moral of the story is that Bart was curious.A modern day hacker, for good and bad reasons.
- Clint storyNow to work thru definitions of hack to find a less sucky one
- Classic definition
- Better definition, removes the evil context.
- Still a bit problematic, since it implies that what we are doing is a compromise or last resort.
- Even better definition, removes the evil clause and making hacking a worthwhile solution.
- Lifehacker built around this concept
- Newer hack definition makes the term less problematic.
- We encourage this sort of discovery in schools and with our kids. Or at least are starting to…
- But very discouraged in the corporate world.
