Exactly. People mock me for using Python and MongoDB at hackathons but I have won my first Hackathon cause I spent my time getting code done and not thinking too hard about it.

Exactly. What did you win with out of interest?

I participated in this years TADHack Mini in Orlando:

It was a lot of fun and the first time we ever worked with any Telecoms / VoIP companies. Also planning on competing on TADHack Global this time joining forces with another team. Didn't win much since others won as well, apparently you could use all the vendors, we only used one.

TADHAck Global is this year in October for anyone interested: https://tadhack.com/2018/global/

Attendance to hackathons deserves mocking in its own... :)

Can you please explain why? Genuinely curious.

The first two bad things that come to mind: squeezing free time from developers and making hype out of it for peer pressure.

I don't know about that, this one was at the college I used to work at before and I got to mentor two young developers and I continue to mentor one of them. Not everything is as bad as people might think, and some developers work different from others. We saw some amazing projects out of TADHack Mini.

Lastly: Nobody has our code but we ourselves. It really depends on who hosts the Hackathon and the purpose of it. We've heard of businesses being bootstraped directly out of this specific Hackathon.
