Most people who go to hackathons have tons of boilerplate already put together, at least in my experience. The coolest thing I ever saw built at a hackathon in boston was a fellow NU student who built a filesystem that completely operated within network traffic flowing between a number of network switches. Totally novel, not fake tech backing a half-baked "business" idea with the IBM watson API.
I stopped going to hackathons after one kid at Hack the North U Waterloo literally tore a muscle in his eye from looking at a screen too long...

After a couple, the sheen wore off because a majority of the people there either attend hackathons all the time, trying to "win", and fork existing projects with slight variations everytime, or are unable to do anything at all. Wish there were some kind of rules about not using existing personal repo's.
