What Hacker News says?
There's been three "TerribleHack" hackathons similar to this at the University of Waterloo and they've been my favourite hackathons. Making stupid shit is so much fun. See http://www.davepagurek.com/blog/terriblehack and https://medium.com/@tau/terriblehack3-1164c2541c3f#.ottw76rt...
