	En primer lloc, enganxo la definició de "hack", segons "The Jargon 
File" (http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~gjm11/jargon/jargH.html):

=======================================================================
  hack  1. n. Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but 
not well. 2. n. An incredibly good, and perhaps very time-consuming, 
piece of work that produces exactly what is needed. 3. vt. To bear 
emotionally or physically. "I can't hack this heat!" 4. vt. To work on 
something (typically a program). In an immediate sense: "What are you 
doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In a general (time-extended) sense: "What do 
you do around here?" "I hack TECO." More generally, "I hack `foo'" is 
roughly equivalent to "`foo' is my major interest (or project)". "I hack 
solid-state physics." See Hacking X for Y. 5. vt. To pull a prank on. 
See sense 2 and hacker (sense 5). 6. vi. To interact with a computer in 
a playful and exploratory rather than goal-directed way. "Whatcha up 
to?" "Oh, just hacking." 7. n. Short for hacker. 8. See nethack. 9. 
[MIT] v. To explore the basements, roof ledges, and steam tunnels of a 
large, institutional building, to the dismay of Physical Plant workers 
and (since this is usually performed at educational institutions) the 
Campus Police. This activity has been found to be eerily similar to 
playing adventure games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Zork. See also 
vadding.

Constructions on this term abound. They include `happy hacking' (a 
farewell), `how's hacking?' (a friendly greeting among hackers) and 
`hack, hack' (a fairly content-free but friendly comment, often used as 
a temporary farewell). For more on this totipotent term see "The Meaning 
of `Hack'". See also neat hack, real hack.
=======================================================================

	En la meva opinió, i d'acord amb el contexte que esmentes, "hack" es 
podria traduïr per "feina" o "treball" o quelcom semblant. També es pot 
ometre amb elegancia, com has fet :) La veritat és que no sé trobar-hi 
una traducció óptima.

	Salutacions,
