I did a hackathon this year. I used to do them 10 years ago when I was a student and the biggest difference is the intention of the hackathon. 10 years ago, it was all about having fun and learning some new and cool (it was where I learned NodeJS) but today, the sentiment is all about "what can GTM tomorrow?" or "what would VCs want to fund?"
I can't say I found the Hackathon I did particularly fun. Nothing thrilling about making Claude do things while drinking the free coke.
