> Most people who go to hackathons have tons of boilerplate already put together, at least in my experience. I agree. 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.
