| > The theme of the hackathon was AI I say it somewhat jokingly. Most of the challenges were AI, but there was a specific security track that wasn't about AI (but AI bug bounty hunter won. Not too mad, just annoyed at miscommunication about which countries the sponsor was actually in). > If anything, this is pretty much the opposite of what a hackathon is supposed to be: A place where you meet people you might not even know, come up with an idea on the spot and develop an MVP + pitch it on a tight (time) budget. Taking an idea you've already been working on for months and using it for a hackathon submission feels... odd The thing I've been working on is a much larger encompassing system where this would just be a small component. No code reused because no code was written for this yet. My task now is to take the shit code written during the hackathon and make it actually usable. > The first is probably true, but to really judge the impact of it (Did AI generated ideas actually win?) we'd have to see the results Yes, the winner also won the Lovable and Claude tracks. Lovable track was specifically about vibe-coding. I am just slightly annoyed yes. |
