Hi! Glad you agree with 2 and 3, let's talk about 1!
I agree with you. I personally never did prepare anything in advance even if I would want to. My life is so crazy and I am running from one event to another. However, it might depend in the kind of hackathon. I mean yes, people do arrive sometimes with ideas. Of course no coding, but you can't stop your mind from thinking about what you could do, right?
I mostly included that in my post because I know some people don't consider it as cheating. I'm not even sure what my opinion is. I mean... it's not coding. It's just saying who does what. That work could even change when a team arrive at the event if they get influenced by the companies...
I would be very curious to know what is the general opinion about this. How much people agree with dispatching tasks before a hackathon and how much thinks it's cheating?!
I love your list of ideas. Because you're right. I don't know about you, but my and my teams never have any ideas before a hackathon. (That's probably why we never prepare anything anyway!) We just meet companies at the event and often end up doing a project that can fit in their contest so we have more chances to win something. It's another motivation.
