I think that there’s a tendency online to attempt to gaslight certain ideas into reality and it creates a tension because they are wrong but it can be unwise to call them out.
Don't worry, it's not robbing you of the the evenings and weekends, which "maybe you like", it's a fun new challenging opportunity. Have you had a chance to panic yet on Saturday morning at 3 AM? Would you like to? It's such a thrill.
What's been everyone's experiences/takes/opinions, specifically with not doing Hackathons? My org is moving them to quarterly-we used to have one yearly-I skipped the last one, probably going to skip the next one but I wonder how long that's going to last before someone in management sticks a head up and asks why I'm not participating (a question for which I have an answer ready to go)
(edit: and by "hackathon" because I realize there's a bit of room for ambiguity, I mean internal corporate Hackathons where the company "allows" dev teams to take a "break" from "regular" work in order to ideate and build new features and functionality that--if their idea gets chosen--becomes "regular" work in and of itself. It's those kinds of hackathons I've started removing myself from)
