Yay I got teammates

About to start the hackathon in 2 and a half hours. Here I come 0 hours of sleep.

Easily Hackathon,

About 2.5 days so 60 hours ish. Not worth, didn't win and company gets free code plus was a charity code for good event so rather they got charity brownie points and I'm sure they couldn't care less about charities. They were a bank. Complete waste honestly, food wasn't even good and was cold.

Both team members quit on a hackathon 2 days before the deadline. I was more curious whether I can do it than desperate, but I spent those 2 days coding. Didn't succeed though.

Facebook world hack was my first hackathon failed miserably
but had great time with fb dev's reporting password related bug on their platform

Went on a Hackathon with two friends. They didn't do shit. This week, they told me that they only knew c#, so we should switch to that. (I use Linux so I shouldn't have accepted that) Just learned that they are going to a maths camp this week and the deadline is next Sunday. Dotnet core CANNOT PARSE FUCKING JSON. I'll rewrite it in node.js, and hope that I can type fast enough to finish in time. Fuck me, fuck my lazy friends and especially fuck Microsoft for saying that they support Linux while providing a dotnet for Linux published in 200-fucking-5

Of course I came down with a frickin fever during my first hackathon and missed the last like 14 hours of it. Smh.

can anyone share their experience of participating in a hackathon first time and what are some tips to win a hackathon??

what are personal projects if not the daughters of hackathon solutions that never saw the light of day

I am at a hackathon and i can't find any ideas to build, what should I do other than watching anime

Participating in an online hackathon in a few days. Still don't have a single person on my team lol

I've a virtual hackathon based on superhero theme, but I don't have any idea what I've to do make can somebody give me any idea on that theme?

"Longest you worked without rest + why?" (2)

Oh, I am an idiot 🙂! 7 hours isn't nearly the longest I've worked without rest (see my previous rant.) I just remembered working non-stop almost for a day in the past.
It was for an annual 48-hour hackathon where people gathered to make games.
It made me promise myself not to work excessively long hours non-stop. My creativity level was way below the ground, and during the after-party, my body sort of kernel-panicked, and I started to become incoherent. I had to call a taxi to find my way home that day.
For the following years, I made sure to get some rest (e.g., go home at night to sleep, spend the lunch break time actually having 'lunch break' and not coding while you're at it, etc.) because I did not want to wreck myself any further.

We had a hackathon at 2 random companies. We had to use MS Power Apps (which nobody has ever used before) althought we worked all night long what nobody did but still lost. A group got first because their use case was the best for their company (Use-Cases were assigned randomly by the company). Am I bad at being a dev now?

Consecutive hours: ~24, it was a hackathon and not terribly interesting.

I did however have an exciting new experience this exam period; a 5 day crunch with strictly timed 6 hour sleep breaks, half-hour lunch breaks and the rest entirely populated by work. I live 5 minutes from the CS lab so this pretty much meant 18 hours of coding per day, 90 hours in total.

Think of this the next time you're trying to decide whether to announce that you aren't going to contribute to a group project.
