The exact origin of the idiom "can't hack it" is not definitively documented, but its roots likely trace back to the realm of technology and computing. In computer programming, "hacking" initially referred to clever or innovative problem-solving, often in the context of overcoming technical challenges. The idiom "can't hack it" likely emerged metaphorically from this technical context, suggesting an inability to effectively manage or cope with a particular situation or task, akin to being unable to "hack" or successfully navigate through it. Over time, the phrase has become commonly used in everyday language to describe someone's inability to handle challenges or meet expectations in various contexts beyond just technology.
