The trick is realizing the sponsors incentives -- they don't actually want the code you wrote in a weekend. If it's recruiting, they're looking for people to hire. If it's devrel, they're looking for people to sell their SaaS to.
- eridius 10y agoThey may not want the code, but they do want evidence that you can actually code. Hackathons are meant to find developers, not salespeople. So picking a team that didn't actually build something real as the winner seems like a rather bad idea.

- megablast 10y agoDo you think they are out hunting powerpoint experts then?
- catmanjan 10y agoNah, but a developer who can sell is usually a better proposition than who cannot.
- tdumitrescu 10y agoReally? I'll take the developer who actually makes things work.
- wingerlang 10y agoIf the developer cannot sell at all you won't really find him though.
