disagreed here. the 3 days format of hackathons is redundant and outdated now.
the bliss as a dev participating was to code for 2 nights straight, drinking monster, and giving out scrappy project on the 3rd day (after fixing all errors in last 2 hours before submission). that bliss is taken by ai.
the meritocracy part of: "im a 4x dev, 10x hackathon winner" is taken away by ai. now no one needs to be a dev. u can just build things.
so current hackathons structures are outdated and not for the ai era. what probably matters more is the business side: "is this viable product for next 10 years," "is this ui/ux easier for users in 1 step," "is this really needed in post-ai era" and so on. the questions that hackers ignored are more important now.
which also points me that 1-3 days hackathons are not important. now it needs to be foundership programs for more than a month or two.
Due to lack of jobs & opportunities in the state, Goan youth migrating to different states and also abroad.
With @ArvindKejriwal's promise of 80% reservation in pvt jobs, these youth won't have to leave their home state for employment.

Always be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
