Testimonials from past winners
Boost your skills and confidence
Participating in this Hackathon was a highly valuable experience as a self-taught software developer.
It provided an excellent platform to showcase my skills and coding abilities in a public setting. The Hackathon boosted my confidence and reaffirmed my passion for software development.

When building my pet projects, I used to get bored and leave them in between. Hackathons on Hashnode create a competitive environment that hits me every moment to keep building it and take it to the finish line.
We also get constructive reviews on the hackathons' blogs on Hashnode that motivates us to make the product better. Other than that I bought a Fujifilm XT-3 camera from the prize money of my last win.
