It's possible to win a hackathon? I thought these things were for fun, not for competition.
This seems like a good idea for a contest.
Show me a weekend hackathon with half as big a prize pot.
The competition was discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42416556
Maybe it's time to turn this challenge into a proper contest.
Please try it out. I created a "Test Contest for HN users"
It seems the contest is already over.
the user competition is meant to be a fun side-project that we threw together today, I think it's cool that people hack things like that so quickly :)
Participating in the contests would.
I wonder what kind of competition. Something like topcoder?
