| To a large degree, this is how the real world works too. |

| Absolutely. Which is why the hackathon was conceived: to serve as an escape from the real world. All good things must come to an end, I suppose. |

| ▲ | asveikau 5 days ago | parent [-] | | When I first read about the hackathon concept, it was a bunch of OpenBSD developers getting together to work on stuff like cryptography or drivers. I think it was from Facebook where I first heard it as some bullshit corporate event. The idea of a "winner" seems to misunderstand what should be a goal. It's not a competition. It's collaboration. | | |
