Dudeee, i so wanna get a group of friends like this to do some hackathon. Lowkey so jealous of y'all! But great content!!

[@kushwanthreddy9567]

I'm remebering my first hackathon and the only one I went till now and all I did there was create a HTML page and doing a lil bit of styling using CSS and integrating a bunch of API and got done with it, we didn't do much but it was eye opener for me and I understood that I still have much more learn

[@stephranaway]

hey props to you for showing up and getting it done! i’m sure the project was awesome and that the hackathon was a great learning experience!:)

[@kushwanthreddy9567]

Was contemplating on what course I'll take, but you guys made my IT percentage increase lol it seems so fun and exciting to work on tough projects with friends ^^

Hackathon is always fun, I went to a few of them and we literally do it in a 5 stars hotel with full three course buffet and everything.

[@pastpresence8173]

4th out of 50 for a first timer is insane!! Can't imagine the nerves with that kind of pressure, congrats all! Thank you for sharing the experience! Also just a bit of suggestion to maybe add an outline or shadows to the text, I really enjoyed the vlog but the white text on bright background can be very hard to read ;;

[@stephranaway]

no fr, we were zombies on that last day lol

[@mrgenetics4063]

Man, when I see all these videos of youngsters doing this stuff it makes me really wished I would have done computer science as my major ….they will be so financially well off instead of a useless biology B.S 😢 32 now and I feel hopeless and too late for any good outcome to come about anymore in this life Good for these youngsters on making a good career choice

[@stephranaway]

you got it - i believe in you!! i know this may sound silly coming from a 23 year old, but combining tech and biology could be a cool route (if that's something you're interested in), especially if you have a bachelors in biology! i also studied biology and added on cs super late during undergrad, and i'm hoping to combine the two in a biotech role! either way, you got this! sending all my good energy your way!
