HACK.

1. a writer or journalist producing dull, unoriginal work. “a hack scriptwriter”
2. a strategy or technique for managing one’s time or activities more efficiently. “there’s one easy hack to avoid the eight dollar popcorn trap: eat before you get to the theater”

But, today, the word hack has better currency and attracts a lot of interest. The definition has morphed into something positive.

Being a hack today means you’ve demonstrated cleverness and ingenuity; that you solved a meaningful problem in an unusual and unprecedented way.
