4 - Are Hackathons Just for the Pros? — With HackerEarth Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Tech Stack Playbook — your guide to apps, software, and tech (but in a fun way I promise!)

This week, I had an amazing conversation on Instagram LIVE with HackerEarth (https://www.instagram.com/hackerearth), one of the leading online virtual hackathon platforms with a 5+ million developer community and an online learning platform assessing 80+ developer skills. Hackathons have played such an important role in my career, helping me learn new skills at a fast rate, see how to build technology up close, and they continue to be a great way to network, level up skills, and make incredible connections. When HackerEarth reached out to me to do an IG LIVE to answer the question "are hackathons just for the pros?" I of course had to take them up on their offer.

Here’s a glance at what you’ll learn in this episode:

1.) What the real purpose of Hackathons is to me.

2.) Why Hackathons aren't about winning (but something bigger).

3.) What are the 3 language you need for a product-focused Hackathon?

4.) What are the 3 language you need for a proof-of-concept Hackathon?

5.) The greatest lessons I've learned from Hackathons so far (including some funny stories)

Welcome back to the Tech Stack Playbook — your guide to apps, software, and tech (but in a fun way I promise!)

This week, I had an amazing conversation on Instagram LIVE with Linda Vivah (https://instagram.com/lindavivah and https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJpRQjpe), a software engineer from NYC, the founder of Coding Crystals (https://www.instagram.com/codingcrystals), and a fellow AWS Community Builder. I thought the conversation was too good to just stay on Instagram, so that's why I made a whole podcast episode out of it.

Here’s a glance at what you’ll learn in this episode:

What role creativity has in tech.
The path to AWS — why should you get certified?
Why is understanding the fundamentals so important?
Why we joined the #AWSCommunityBuilders Program.
Why having a community of mentors and friends helps us battle imposter syndrome in tech.
And more!
