noun | ha·kuh·thawn
A hackathon is like a rave for nerds - it's a marathon coding session where developers get together and build cool shit over the course of a weekend. It's fueled by caffeine, pizza, and a shared love of all things tech.
Example
"I met my co-founder at a blockchainhackathon - we bonded over our shared love of Solidity and our hatred of centralized exchanges. Been together ever since, through bull markets and bear markets alike."
"Hackathons are like the Olympics of coding - everyone's competing to build the most innovative and disruptive project, but in the end, we're all just a bunch of sleep-deprived nerds with eye strain and carpal tunnel."
