Yeah, that battle had already been lost by the time I entered the field
(even though I tried to fight it for a while anyway.)

I will note that "hackerspace" seems to be somewhat more common parlance
than "makerspace" in the circles I operate in as a description of "area
where a bunch of people in various disciplines go to create things in a
shared environment", so that's some reclamation of what I would consider
the original meaning of "hacker".
