Sorry, but the philological battle for "hacker" is lost. It was nice
while it lasted but the last thing we should do is name a book after it.

More importantly, however, "hacker" (in the preferred meaning) does not
achieve the desired semantic distinction either, since in a way developer
== programmer == hacker.
