⏱️ Mobitag Go Hackathon 2024-06-22 week-end 🤓

📢 Context

Last week, optnc published the following post :

👉 This new blog post is all about the inspiration it brought me the very next days.

🎯 Week-end Hackathon pitch

I really love to the find the most efficient way to pitch an idea, as often visual management is a great way to achieve this:

⏱️ hackathon, 2h. timeboxing & office hours

After that, on the next saturday morning, I launched myself within a 2 hours hackathon to estimate what could be achieved during a very strict and short timeboxed session so I could organize one later on office hours, and how I could animate that session.

🍿 Demo

🤔 Learning paths considerations

After the first working prototype I felt happy with that but... I
started to dig a bit further around Go best practices, tooling, libs.

"The more I saw possibilities the more it made me want to learn more."

So my conclusion would be that using genAI to start dirty-coding from scratch a new programming language is really great as it makes things work within a very short amount of time : perfect for a hackathon.

It helps produce "something that runs" for demo purpose.

Then it made me thing about two categories:

  • For those who just want to discover a programming language, build a PoC and make their opinion : it's a great way, for example to teach to code... while producing something that does more than "Hello World"
  • For those who felt curious and want to go further in discovering : it's very fun

In my case I felt the need to make things better looking, automating and discovering Go language and benefits. I think I will :

  • Go on discovering Go language and tools
  • Probably test new programming languages, go on coding new ideas from scratch with GenAi too and see what happens
