The hacker is always the last to leave, late at night, which impresses the MD
Counterpoint:
Hacker uses disciplined development languages and RAD, dynamic languages (e.g., Perl) to get their work done during regular 9-5 hours (often ahead of schedule), and never needs to work late or demand more budget/schedule/employees.
Slacker throws sh*t at the wall until something sticks, relies on the buzzword languages de jure (Java, .NET, etc.), ends up putting major extra hours in to cover their own screwups, goes over schedule and over budget.
Slacker gets awards, promotions, and raises, while hacker gets layed off, since PHB sees "Slacker goes the extra mile to get difficult projects done", while "hacker doesn't seem committed to the team".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
