The author has a problem with events called "hackathons" that are not congruous to his definition of a hackathon. These hackathons have too much competition, they are too intense, and he just generally doesn't like the atmosphere. Yet some people enjoy them. You know what? I wouldn't attend the events I didn't like myself. I would attend some other events or perhaps help people organize them. Maybe he will do it. Well, I don't get this: "A hackathon where everyone wanders around the tables and you talk with lots of people about the stuff they are doing is way way more productive for everyone." If everyone wanders around the tables, then no-one will get anything done. That is not productive at all. |

Your taking his comment to the extreme. I know what he means, he means a Hackathon were people can converse and come up with ideas together is a better Hackathon than say one that forces close-knit groups to ignore everyone else in a bid to 'win' the competition.
