Verne’s not a true Belieber.

Comes from hackney carriages, used as taxis in horse-and-buggy days, horrible working conditions for both man and horse. So a person who works long hours at something tedious and meaningless became a “hack”, and “hacker” came to be used to refer to a computer programmer who so loved programming that he was almost exclusively focused on programming for long hours. Then it finally morphed into the negative connotation that it has now.

Hackers wear capes? Are they superheroes in disguise, working to save us all from the coming robot-zombie apocalypse?
(Just trying to give Lewis and Fry material to work with here.)

Verne, you’ve been seen with that hopeless schlemiel Bieber; it’s all over. Just end it now.

I would add that the hack driver has more in common with the “to hook” lineage of hack because of the s-hooks (those flimsy skeuomorphic things you see on funeral hearses once had a function) needed by the driver.
