What Is This Event?
A hackathon where the worse your idea, the better. We're here to prove that not all code needs to change the world. Some of it just needs to exist.
Embrace the Chaos
Where bad ideas become legendary disasters. We celebrate the art of building things nobody asked for.
Zero Practical Value
If it's useful, you're doing it wrong. We measure success by how many people ask 'but why?'
Fueled by Creativity
24 hours of pure, unfiltered dumbness. Caffeine and chaos. What could go wrong?
Professional Dumbness
We take being dumb very seriously. Every line of code is carefully crafted to be magnificently pointless.
