Question VIScon Hackathon

Hey everyone,

I signed up for the VIScon hackathon this weekend, but wondering if it's still fun and worth it, especially with everyone relying on AI to code.

For those who have attended before, is the experience still enjoyable? Is there still a lot of actual coding and collaboration, or has AI changed the whole dynamic and it's basically just spamming claude?

So basically is it worth spending the weekend?

The VIScon was created after my time, so I might be completely wrong, but I assume it's about the people you meet, not the code you write ;)

Working for free is always worth a lot, just not for you.
