Actually any Hackathon where I'm trying to build or implement something that I (at least at the start of the Hackathon) Have no idea on how to build

Where I spend maybe half (or more) of the Hackathon on rapid prototyping and learning asap to be done in time

I get such a motivational rush that one time I even managed to stay up and productive for roughly 42 hours straight

And the knowledge that I got during that Hackathon (bash scripting) got me into server management, I even use some of my scripts daily.. so last year was a huge payoff for me 😇

Actually pretty funny that this is the question of the week, because this week I am going to a yearly Hackathon
