All the stuff you can do just with software? It was done years ago.
The easy stuff was done and the teams got acquired/acquihired.
The hard stuff was done by VC backed companies.
All the stuff that’s not done is even harder than that.
Hackathon in 2025 is late to the party. But it’s still fun to spend a weekend making whatever you want and be fed - food and credits! - by VC-backed companies trying to juice numbers.
Plus a hackathon is the perfect amount of time to vibecode something cool.
