|
n. [University of Maryland: from hacker ] 1. A person, similar to a hacker ,
|
|
who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch
|
|
their capabilities. Whereas a hacker tends to produce great hacks, a whacker
|
|
only ends up whacking the system or program in question. Whackers are often
|
|
quite egotistical and eager to claim wizard status, regardless of the views
|
|
of their peers. 2. A person who is good at programming quickly, though
|
|
rather poorly and ineptly.
