I spent another weekend in a Hackathon (T-Hack 2015 at Sao Paulo). Just like a real marathon, I don&#x27;t run to win, finishing one is already a victory.<p>What saddens me is seeing this kind of event putting off real hackers (some friends stop attending because of this) by weighting too much on the &quot;business&quot; side of the project.<p>There are already plenty event formats like StartupWeekends, DemoDays and other pitch contests for the hustlers among us.<p>I&#x27;m guilty of that as well, I helped organizing the FIESP Hackathon this year (probably the biggest one in Latin-america with 200 contestants) and I don&#x27;t think the better hack won.<p>Do you attend Hackathons? Do you feel most events are more Hustlathons than Hackathons and what can we organizers do in order to amend the situation?
Ask HN: Do you attend Hackathons?
