In my past experience where I’ve won hackathons, coding has very little to do with winning. The goal should be to put together an amazing presentation and demo. This means writing just enough code to make everything look good, and certainly no point in putting together any sort of robust real world tech stack. It’s just a waste of time that won’t help you win.
- ppeetteerr 5y agoI'd like to second this. Winning a Hackathon is more about impressing the audience than technical prowess. I've seen more Hackathons won with a presentation than I ever have with code.
