When I lost a hackathon and realized how much better the others are compared to me

But you gained experience, that's enough in my opinion ;)

Why do you think your team didn't win?

Every lose is a win. Because you get smarter and wiser when you lose. Your ambition to be better only builds.

@plusgut We probably didn't win cause all the 3 judges were sponsors from companies which focused mainly on ML,VR and AR tech and our team worked on a different stack altogether. The top 5 prizes were also taken by teams who did those.

Did manage to win some sopposedly paid course for free ...but I'm still to be contacted for that and I doubt they will
Managed to learn a whole lot about other tech stacks though
