GitHub: Hackathons remain the best place to learn to build
Why it matters for readers: They are a low-cost way to try building software and learn from others.
- GitHub followed dozens of hackathon participants and found the events focus teams on building prototypes over about two days.1
- Participants described hackathons as 'two days of intense focus' and an 'invention marathon' that moves a small project forward, according to the post.1
- GitHub says collapsed barriers to building and AI-powered tools such as GitHub Copilot make it easier for non-CS grads to start coding and prototyping.1
- Scenes at hackathons include rapid prototyping with cardboard and duct tape, debugging models, and communal activities like pizza, illustrating the hands-on culture.1
