“We’ve built rooms for people to code. Now let’s build rooms for people to create.”

The more I’ve observed hackathons, the more I’ve felt something missing

We celebrate the builders of infrastructure (and rightly so). But what about the people who give that infrastructure meaning, emotion, identity?

The Cultural Hackathon🌹 is my reflection on why I believe we need a new kind of hackathon, one designed not just for shipping code, but for shaping culture. A space for creators to collaborate, experiment, and lead the next wave of expression

This isn’t about replacing the traditional hackathon (we need it). It’s about acknowledging a missing piece. The piece that inspires people to care, to connect, to participate. That piece is culture. And we’ve never been more in need of formats that help us build it consciously

Also s/o to @humpty.eth for creating what I believe is the first iteration of a hackathon like this

Thank you!🌹

I have tought about this a lot as a bankless live performance musician living on @tipn and @noiceapp 

I do invest time figuring the middle point of music + devs 

I've minted the name of "Hackatunes" for a concept where devs are aligned with musicians (with the soft skills of understand fundamental code and be able to understand technical language) in order to create SONGS that SHOWS the product of said hackers, protecting the intellectual property of the nerds while we made their product appealing for the average Joe

This is a way to protect nerds from the hackathons organizers who had stealed ideas in the past


Thoughts on this?
