Yes, people with responsibilities are excluded, but that is life. You don't see parents of young children out clubbing till 4am. Younger people go out clubbing

Yes, people with responsibilities are excluded, but that is life. You don't see parents of young children out clubbing till 4am. Younger people go out clubbing because you can feel shit the next day without the kids wanting attention. Not being able to go to a hackathon for a whole weekend is something you'd have to give up too if you had other priorities.

- v64 12y agoThat's fine if your hackathon is optional, but many workplaces make them mandatory or they exist in a kind of gray area where you're not required to go, but it's "highly recommended" you go if you want to continue to advance in the office. And sure, if your employer puts you in that kind of situation, it's shitty, but not everyone has the ability to just up and quit for greener pastures.
