I came across an article recently (can't find the link), where they talk about these "Hackathon Hustlers" not being welcome to hackathons. The argument companies make is that these people are not the target audience for hackathons and hence are viewed as unwelcome gate crashers.
- smelendez 9y agoThey should just have a rule that you can't win a prize above a certain level if you've won another hackathon prize in the past N months.

- joeevans1000 9y agoI wonder why they would be unwelcome. I'm not being sarcastic here. I mean, what's wrong with more people? I would love to see that article.
- oculusthrift 9y agoi think it's fine for them to go but it kind of spoils the competition in certain cases. imagine having a hackathon with a bunch of inexperienced people trying to learn and then one intense group of professionals comes and just crushes everyone.
