Uber driver apparently pulled them out safely. It's a shame some countries take change so violently. I love Paris and France, I also use Uber there... this is terrible. SO glad Kat and Renaud made it home safely afterwards.

great point avilay. thank you for helping clarify the difference between the two PM's. product vs project. i think this is an important differentiation and one which, when clarified, could help more developers excel in their careers without losing their coding edge.

I see many points about not wanting to manage being mentioned, but if you read into it more you'll find Gayle is suggesting this is about developers who want to drive product. Product Management is much more than just management roles and I know many coders who do product management while maintaining their coding space. It's not for everyone, but Product Management is not project management.

The goal is to make the world better through hacking together with people from around the world. The guidelines of what 'tools' are open as we don't want to limit solutions to problems. The one guideline that is strict is that this is not a "build a business" hackathon. While that could be an outcome, judging will be based on solving real world problems for social good. (No, that means hacking a beer pong game to make parties better does not count) - Thanks so much for commenting!
