Inaugural SF Stupid Hackathon – Presentations Today
This weekend, hundreds of hapless hackers converged in San Francisco, ripe with terrible ideas. After twenty-four hours, some "hacks" have rotted (literally), while others have burst into glorious fruition. Come witness the dawn of despair: the technological eschaton nears.
Satisfaction is transient. Regret is forever. How do you want to be remembered?
TL;DR: Stupid Hackathon presentations are today, 3-5pm at the Roxie theater (3117 16th St, San Francisco). We’d love to see you there.
Bewildered, confused, and excited,
The Organizers

- formulaT 11y agoThis hackathon is a good example of the hypocrisy of the progressive movement. Because the hackathon is clearly motivated by progressive politics (making fun of what is considered to be a White cishet male dominated startup scene), they get to break all their own rules regarding appropriateness or decency. Note that the hackathon is sponsored by Mozilla SF, so it can't be claimed this is not an industry event. Here are some examples from the previous New York hackathon [0]: Sexual content (ordinary nerds would be told that any sexual content is inappropriate during work/industry related events): Golden Bitcoin Pasties, Focus Tools, Collaborative Fuck Bike, E.T. Strapon, Sado-Masochistic Macrame Planter, Tinder For Babies, "ok glass, vomit" Making fun of mental health/development issues: Stupid Font, Body shaming and objectification: Intellectual Babes Calendar And here are some prize categories in the current hackathon that are similarly offensive: Peter Thiel, Scatological APIs, Targetting The "Hikikomori" Space [0] http://www.stupidhackathon.com/ http://www.stupidhackathon.com/

- joshu 11y agoThat is a separate event with a similar name. Also you are whining.

- formulaT 11y agoA separate event, but one that they link against, and with identical format and almost identical categories. Social justice warriors like you whine. I expose hypocrisy.
- joshu 11y agoComplaining about a separate event makes you sound a little crazy. Perhaps you could fix that and try again.
- formulaT 11y agoBe inspired, as we were, by the terrible and strange creations at the original (NYC) Stupid Hackathon. And the topics (the problematic ones of which I listed) clearly suggest they are anticipating similar content. If you want to defend both hackathons, please do so, but don't try to win this argument on an irrelevant technicality.
