How to win a hackathon without coming in first place

I'm a very frequent game jam participant. At my first jam I crunched the whole time with tons of energy drinks, but after a few ones I decided to not use caffeine or any other stimulants (with possible exception at the very end) and to get plenty of sleep and water during the event instead. Never regretted.

Turns out you code better when well rested.

Hahaha, that makes a lot of sense. I participated in a game jam recently as well and that was a great experience, and now that you mention it the fact that I was at home and had a nice 8 hours of sleep might have contributed to that.
