Three Days on the Startup Bus

Here are some pearls from it:

> Nothing useful is ever created at a hackathon.

> sometimes “entrepreneur” means “runs a successful company” and sometimes it means “more ideas than money.”

> Eddie [...] dresses exclusively in free t-shirts from tech events. [...] his job is to go around the country attending hackathons, throwing pizza parties, and handing out t-shirts to developers to convince them to use SendGrid.

Reads exactly like the hackathons I've attended.

Has anyone ever heard this definition of vaporware before?

On the overall thing, I've always suspected these were more a giant party than anything useful. The reason is that good things usually take time and quality thought to put together. Sleep can work wonders, too. Wish I was in Nashville for this event as it would've been fun talking to the Startup Bus crowd.
