Hackathons tend to get a bit nutty around the 12 hour mark. After sprinting through brainstorming and the first couple revisions, coders, hackers, and designers are often overwhelmed, tired, and, well, coming down from a Club-Mate high.
But then the pretzels and popcorn come out. Beer is served. And everyone got a second wind. Plus, the sponsored masseuse helped calm soar backs. I know he helped me.
The attendees made it through the night and eventually formed more a 100 teams to present the next morning.
