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!:)

[@stephranaway]

u totally should!:) i was in the same boat haha (wrote my first line of code junior year of college😭). it’s a bit intimidating at first, but once you get started you’ll have so much fun with it! and i don’t believe you won’t be good at it😤 lmk if u decide to give it a shot!
