…might work for coffee…Mar 5, 2023

Had a wonderful team at #HealthHack in #brunswick that got a lot of stuff done. Super awesome location. Nice team.

Would not recommend again.
Why?
They had to make it a competition.
3rd prize was a startup that got funding for the idea already, they seemed to not have attracted people to join them. Did do jack. Nothing done in a weekend, but got a prize.

Sorry but that sucks.

@mwfc I was at a similar event. The competition (which I think was unnecessary) was judged...interestingly. Felt good about my project, felt bad about the event..

@moanos
Yeah. My team was rather pissed for that.
Really, why does a company that brought something w/o even a chance for actionable items get a prize? Why a competition? Imho it would have been better w/o the competition and we would have been happy. But killing off any spirit from the term #hacking for using it as startup promotion platform... Please don't do a #hackathon then.
