My first hackathon is ahead of me :) thanks for the tips!

[@karolinasowinska]

There should be a handful of interesting ones going on online this year! ;)

[@urukhai8196]

Interesting way to make a video. Now that you added a couple of jokes/comments and *your thought process* to it, it seems much more intimate and sincere - it looks like you're mixing your informative tech/data related videos with spices from your rabbit hole videos. Good job!

[@karolinasowinska]

Thanks for that! I always try to add a little bit of my thoughts to the tech videos, but I'm glad that it stood out for you this time! In fact... I'm feeling a little reflective these days, I have a feeling that the next video might come straight from my rabbit hole!

[@urukhai8196]

@@karolinasowinska Ah, well, concluding from my mood these past few days, our feelings seem to be mutual.

[@AngadGrewal]

Great video, I've been wanting to do a hackathon for some time now!

[@karolinasowinska]

it's definitely a great way to learn ultra fast!

[@candyfloss184]

I finally resigned 😑 from my company after almost 9 years of being there. Got busy. How are you Karolina?

[@ankushojha5089]

intresting 👍 , slowly am getting edicted of your videos

[@karolinasowinska]

Oh, I'm very glad, and you're very welcome! :)

[@PriyaDeshmukh-zv1cm]

How do we get to know who and when they are organizing hackathon

[@duckmeat4674]

My number one thing to expect:
It'll never go the way you planned it in the first hour, or even your preplanning

[@karolinasowinska]

Hahah very true. It's always good to have a plan, but be ready to be flexible around it.

[@amandaj3742]

Is there a place for data engineers at hackathons?

[@karolinasowinska]

Absolutely!

[@gauravkadganchi6905]

I want to gain knowledge on .NET ....
Is there any competitions that use C# .NET ?

[@karolinasowinska]

At hackathons it's typically up to you what technologies you use, so there's no problem if you want to put your C# to test :)

[@nkvlogsbd7313]
