I know this is in (semi)-jest, but I don't think it's a bad thing that technology seems more accessible than it may actually be.
I don't think it'd be exactly productive if only the most technically capable people felt like they could even start to enter the industry.
- rhaps0dy 11y agoThat's not a bad thing. What I don't like (I don't know if it happens in the USA, but here in Barcelona hackathons it often does) is teams submitting just a PowerPoint presentation to the hackathon, and sometimes even winning.
- krrishd 11y agoThat's a valid concern for sure, I've seen exactly what you're talking about. Interestingly enough though, college hackathons are the only hackathons I've seen actually reward implementation over concept and the actual technical work done by teams over future potential.
- rhaps0dy 11y agoRight. And college hackathons are the ones the dashboard is about. The "extra" programming languages may not share the cause with that phenomenon.
- akhilcacharya 11y agoIt's more because they're doing these rankings based on the self-reported languages/Frameworks that people put on their ChallengePost projects. The reason why HTML/CSS is the highest is because the web framework share is divided between many different languages.
