What have you hacked today?

Paul Graham recently wrote an essay about his experience at yahoo, and why he believed they didn't come out ahead at the end. A big factor was a hacker-centric culture.

Contrary to popular belief a hacker is neither a criminal nor a programmer, well not all the time. Hackers ask why. Why can't you communicate in 140 characters at time, why can't we have horseless carriages, why can't we fly, and yes even, why can't I log in to every account on that ultra secure website. Hackers don't settle for no. Tell a hacker something cannot be done. They'll ask why and then they'll do it. You can't fly across Europe for 5 euros, RyanAir thought otherwise.

How do you hack your job everyday? What out of the box ideas have you tried? What have you encouraged your team to try? Hack your meetings, hack your rolodex, hack the office. A hacker is never complacent.

Looking forward to hearing what you've hacked today.
