I went to a startup weekend maybe 9-10 years ago. It was a lot of fun. I didn't pick the best idea to work on, just the funnest sounding. Ended up with a small team (3 of us total) and we we're one of the only ones to actually have a good demo. I try to do some kind of hackfest every year now.

There is just something magical about working on something fun and pulling an all nighter.

Yeah, it was my first weekend and I went there just with the objective of having fun and do something different but ended up going to this idea because the one presenting it had a huge charisma when presenting it and captured my interest. Apart from this team i met some interesting people and I hope to keep in contact with some of them too.

The area where I live doesn't have an active tech community but it's starting to improve thanks to some communities meetups and similar events and the main attraction of this events is the ability to meet friends in tech or interesting fields like marketing.

I didn't have the energy to pull a all nighter so I went back home at 1 am, but some members did exactly that to finish the pitch for sunday.

Great attitude. You can’t know what is good at that time scale; may as well just pick something that resonates and have fun building!

Thank you! We do have fun at moment still, hope we can continue having fun
