This write-up shows a litany of issues, but very relatable based on businesses I’ve seen from the inside.

Although they’ve learned some lessons I expect there’s more learning needed yet.

And it saddens me that someone reading only the original title may think that a “hackathon” led to a “hack” — and further tarnish the notion of hackathons.
