Why amazed? Well, I'm not native speaker but I also interpreted
hacking that way, particularly with "fix" having the same meaning as
in "quick fix" idiom, so not necessarily "best practice fix".

3 	hack, hack on
 		fix a computer program piecemeal until it works; "I'm not very good
at hacking but I'll give it my best"
