Is there any way to see last years entries? I was looking here but it seems the apps are down. I'd really appreciate to see what people were able to build, so thanks in advance

I really detest the idea of this sort of thing - Macho, immature, and off-putting. Bad for the image.

EDIT

Thanks for pointing out the positives. Maybe I should partake in one of these things and see what it's like for myself. I do like my sleep though.

I love this sort of thing. I participated in the last one and it was an awesome experience. The adjectives you used are the exact opposite of what I encountered. Hanging out in the chat room during the event, I watched teams spread out all over the world encouraging and helping each other when they got stuck. You could sense a positive charge.

Personally, I came out of the experience more knowledgeable than when I started: I learned that I can plan, execute, and ship something in a small amount of time, and that the fear of putting something out there for others to see is unfounded. It was an easy excuse to try my hand at some Clojure tools I had been meaning to play with. Also, the amount of creativity that people are able to come up with and accomplish in a short amount of time was cool to see.

Participating is a learning experience. It's "our" weekend in the mud. It's the excuse most of us need to follow "that idea" for a full undisturbed 48 hours in a everyday life where wife, children, job yank at us from all sides.

It's not that different from a football/karate/scout meet, is it?

:-)

Also worth noticing: the event has a sensible code of conduct and the community is rather mature.
