AI Hackathon: 24-Hour Startup Sprint
(you do not have to stay all 24 hours)
The Challenge: Build a real startup from scratch in 24 hours, completely without AI automation.
While AI code generation and "vibe coding" (using modern rapid frameworks, boilerplates, and manual prompt engineering to ship fast) are fully welcome, no LLMs or AI APIs can be baked into the actual product we ship. We are proving that human problem-solving, raw execution, and clean architecture can still disrupt markets old-school style.
Details
- When: Starting today, Saturday, October 17 at [Insert Time]
