How did "going to the pub and talk over a beer" become "a social hack"?

London on Friday afternoon is the biggest hacker fest in the world!

London <b>everyday at lunch</b> is the biggest hacker fest in the world.

I was in London a couple weeks ago and fixed that for you.

going to the pub and talk (about technology) over a beer is what became a social hack.

The term hack on this forum is highly inflationed. Going for lunch or for a drink with colleague or friend or client or possible mate-partner is what people do all over the world.

Is that the reason for the downvote? Honestly surprised by it!
