A working repo for a future event
Hacks Against Humanity (HAH!) is the working name for a future hackathon event, born out of common frustrations with other events:
- High falutin' mission statements - "we want you to save endagered species... by spending a week hacking on crappy code" - that never seem to pan out
- Feelings of exploitation by marketing droids who just want the personal benefit of association with hackers, and think you'll work on their vision for pizza and beer.
- Missing the fun and comaraderie that hackathons should embody
- A crushing lack of creativity
Instead, HAH! will focus on the exact opposite:
- Creative irreverence rewarded, bland discouraged
- Hacking for the sheer, absurd fun of it
- Work on what you want to - the more unexpectedly personal the better
- Competition for its own sake
- Did I mention fun?
Right now this is just a concept - we have little more than the name to go on - but we believe there's an opportunity here to have fun, hack together, and... keep it real, yo.
