Roughly 24 hours ago we concluded the Berlin @OpenAIDevs DevDay Hackathon!

Over 245 people joined us on two floors in the @circuit_ber startup house.

Within 8 hours participants had the chance to build amazing projects, no matter if technical or non technical.

In the end, 73 projects were submitted across the Developer and Founder/GTM tracks.

3 teams per track won a lot of API & Codex credits. As well as 10 tickets to the DevDay Berlin tomorrow!

For me it honestly was a huge amount of stress and hassle!

I straight up ran around the location from 8 am to 7pm and tried to put out as many fires as possible.

We had a lot of typical hackathon things go wrong as usual haha

Wifi was spotty and going down, credit distribution was flaky but in the end we managed to persevere.

I was lucky to have an amazing team of supporters on location that was pitching in and honestly handling so much work that I could've never done without them.

This day showed how important real life interaction still is and how much I personally still can learn about making this experience enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you to the brilliant ambassadors who were there:

@DFinsterwalder (from Göppingen)
@mrlesk (from Vienna)
@laraavci_ (from Munich)
@janpfrenger (from Frankfurt)
@artur_wala (from Warsaw)

as well as the wonderful extra supporters:

@_Ms_Stacy, Eleni Koukidou, Jérémy Grandillon
and tons of other people who helped out on the event

Special thank you also to the absolute legendary OpenAI folks who showed up:

@paw_lean: for making this event possible in the first place and being a beam of inspiration for everyone on the event

@reach_vb: for starting this community program and also showing up at this event!

and @TilmanResch for dropping by for a few minutes and being the OpenAI GTM legend he is

And thank you to @rhiannon_io who unfortunately couldn't make it to the event but helped immensely to actually let this come together and deliver goodies for so many people from the US to Europe.

Thank you to @Qu1nn_web3, Kushal Singh and the rest of the location staff for managing the different event fires with me and making sure the whole event is well caffeinated.

And thank you to @Son_of_a_Pigeon, the best event photographer ever, for the most insane and awe-inspiring pictures from the day.

To even greater hackathons and more insane projects
Max

PS:
Excited for the OpenAI DevDay Berlin tomorrow!

@andrewmcgehee @laraavci_ @paw_lean Reminds me of this haha.. Cover image said sth like "fun projects to build on a Saturday" smh

[Jan Pfrenger @janpfrenger]

@andrewmcgehee @laraavci_ @paw_lean Oh that's so cool! Yeah 3d printed, took a really long time though and still needs some adjustments..

[Jan Pfrenger @janpfrenger]

@HarrisonMcGuire @laraavci_ So the dots aren't actually official (no official STL files sadly) so there aren't any public ones available I believe 🫠🙈
But you can just have Codex design them based on pictures :)
