Hackathons
Building in public. Adventures, projects, and lessons from hackathons and rapid prototyping.
Why Hackathons?
Hackathons are where ideas meet reality under pressure. They force you to ship, to make hard tradeoffs, and to learn what actually matters when time is limited.
I participate in hackathons to sharpen my rapid prototyping skills, explore new AI capabilities, and build things that might not make sense in a normal work context.
