Some people like 24 hour raves too. I personally can't understand it. A good hackathon is a party for people who like to party that way. If you have colleagues that you truly enjoy hacking with, it's awesome. Plus I like pizza. I understand that some people don't enjoy these kinds of things the way I do (and to be honest, I can't do 24 hours of anything any more). As programming jobs become more integrated in society I find that hacking culture is changing. There are many more 9-5ers these days than when I first started. As much as I understand it, and as much as I think it isn't necessarily bad, it makes me a bit sad.
