If in this context 'hacker' approximately equals 'engineer' then I came 
across the definition:

"An engineer is someone who can make for £1 what any bloody fool could 
make for £100"

So in my opinion, for small projects it all depends on the engineer's 
fee but for larger values of £, the fee becomes insignificant and the 
bloody fool makes £ tend to infinity.
