- Hackathon builders, engineers, designers, and SaaS skeptics
- Worth noticing
- The page requires an empty repository, checks commit history, and scores projects equally on savings and product quality.
Field notes
The contest turns software-price arbitrage into a timed build: participants lock their targets at 10:00, work from an empty repository until 18:00, then present their results. The rules allow open-source tools, models, and coding agents while prohibiting prewritten code and reserving the right to inspect commit history. The page says entrants retain their work and that food, coffee, and sponsor credits are covered, but the prize pool and judging panel remain unfinished.
