Hackers and Hustlers

what is with constantly taking terms, such as 'hacker' and trying to assign some sort of narrow, self-serving definition of them to the word. So if a hacker is someone who 'is only "ok" at coding' but they are critical for developing direction for the business is this implying that someone who is very good with the technical aspect is not able to do this? This kind of nonsense is what people who don't necessarily have a full interest in the technical side of things write to pat themselves on the back and keep their own morale high.
