Yes also won one at CCHUB, can't think of any dos and don't other than coding. Mayne not stealing competitors code, never heard any strict rules

Yeah , been to both Ubuntu and Google dev hackathon


Got blacklisted from attending Shecode hackathons because apparently it's for women only

Wonderful

But what really happens, are you all given individual projects or do you do it as a team

Also attending a google dev, what really prepared you for it, also will letcode, algocode and hackerrank be useful ?

But guy, you ma you heard she codes and thought it was unisex ?

Individual my task was to build a Jquery Mobile app and eventually J2ME

But was it a team effort ie you handled a particular division or did you do it like a knock out challenge ie individuals from each team go up against other individuals from another team ? And also, were you timed ?

Kaczynski:




DSA

Yes

Will it be like how questions concerning DSAs are asked on leetcode or is it different ?

It was a 4 day event and at the end of the day, the best idea wins, someone did the backend, another the UI and I just worked on the mobile

Hackaton is never about coding skills thought that would help, It's always about top notch ideas
