What does Sup Forums think of hackathons?

theyre tight as tits tbqh f.am

I love hackathons desu.

never get enough of hackathons (or hackathons as I like to call them) if i may say so myself T
BQH

Working for free is for faggots

I have no idea what a hackathon is and I do not wish to find out.

What is the point of hackathons?

>working

"Create a super Project in 24 hours and we will pay you U$1000".

They are fun, but demo parties are cooler.

Its a way to see and to be seen
To push liberal agenda like muh women/niggers in tech
And to build absolutely nothing of value

was told that I woulda been able to play but the boss considered me a threat - blocked it

Yes, you are solving some companies problems for free, for the infantismal chance they might give you an interview.

Every hackathon I've gone to has been 10% programmers working on projects and giving feedback to each other, and 90% feminists/fags/wannabes/etc checking Facebook and or doing meaningless bullshit like mapping the city in Minecraft.

Do I have to be the first to ask? WTF is a hackathon?

Event where programmers work together to create applications etc in a short period of time (like 8-72 hours depending on the event)

Usually cash prizes, grants etc for best teams

Virgins only btw.

he already said programmers.

Circle jerk for white male Poles desu

go to get free food then do nothing the rest of the time

it's a slave market

I've always wanted to go to one, even if it was just to fool around.

The sponsored ones just ask you to build something fun with their shiny new APIs, right?

this but the 10% is worth it
