Cool project and all but not great form leaving out naming your teammates until the last post in the thread, which naturally ends up getting a tiny fraction of the engagement the announcement post does.

- BoorishBears 3y agoYikes. You could have just pretended the omission was a simple mistake.

- BoorishBears 3y agoI was: regardless of your failure to activate your teammates effectively, they were your teammates. There's zero chance everything plays out exactly as it did if they weren't there, unless you found some glitch in chaos theory along the way. Throwing them under the bus is even worse in that regard, and something I haven't ever seen in 14 years of attending hackathons (practically as a career at some points)

- BoorishBears 3y ago99% of the time stuff like this just handles itself even if you give equal credit on paper: when people ask questions about how it works, who's the one who will have detailed and insightful answers? And remember the spotlight is always grows big enough to fit the cast: no one's going to view your work in a less impressive light because there's two other names there, and any reasonable person is going to make their best effort to commend/communicate with all three of you if all three of your names show up. - I've been in a similar position but I had the opposite problem: teammates trying to attribute a win to me, and me having to very insistent it was a team effort. I think it's just easy to underestimate how many pieces need to fall in place while you're building on a short timeline and under high pressure. From ideation to implementation, just the presence of teammates can have a strong effect (for all you know, part of your subconscious drive was just to show the other two teammates it could be done!)
