Last week, I went to the @ethglobal Taipei Hackathon. By Sunday, I had a cancelled return flight, one sponsor prize, one finalist placing, a 4am nearly all-nighter, and a product I was legitimately proud of. Taipei was my second ETHGlobal hackathon after participating in the ETHGlobal Agentic Ethereum hackathon in late January together with @markcarey (when we made /streme), and my third ever together with last year's Moxiethon. A few reflections: - I came in the day before without a concrete idea. My partner and I spent a whole day ideating and doing due diligence on ideas. It was worth it. - Great partners are the best. - I probably can't be chill during hackathons. As soon as I smell blood in the water, I can't help but push to win. - Which meant staying up till 4am polishing the night before the due date...HRV is looking unsurprisingly rough still. I'm not that young so should be careful. Continued...

🙏 appreciate that! were you hacking as well? or did you just come for the finals? we ended up not using any frameworks, just straight up javascript. I did most of the design/frontend and my partner (who's actually a design/frontend whiz), did most of the backend.

I would normally be hacking, but this time I was actually onboarding as a contractor for @ethglobal! They were nice enough to fly me out to Taipei to meet some of the team members I’ll be working with.
