Not to sound like a thought leader and all but I was reviewing a bunch of hackathon projects and the fact that everyone is slopping them out now (code, frontend, slides, literally everything honestly) really highlights how ideas limited people are

Back in my day if you delivered the 20th variation of the same idea at least you could argue you spent the time learning a new tech stack or something. If you are obviously having AI do all the implementation what did you spend the last 48 hours doing exactly

Also I feel like more judges need to read Hacker News because people will actively try to present a “quirky, weird project” that someone literally posted there like a month ago and just not get called out on it
