Join the World’s First Microtask Programming Hackathon
We’d like to invite you to join the world’s first microtask programming hackathon. You’ll be competing against others to win $1800 in prizes. Sign up here (forms.gle/79Vr58p5MjLgN6…).
1/6 @ThomasLaToza
Microtask programming is a new way to build software, where you work on individual functions within a codebase while a crowd simultaneously works on every other function.
2/6
In our hackathon, you’ll have a chance to try out microtask programming by working together with a crowd of developers to build a backend for a new app helping connect students with tutors. You’ll be competing against others to win $1800 in prizes. 3/6
Our event will be remote and one day only (March 26th Saturday, 8 am to 11 pm EST). To participate, you should be comfortable programming in JavaScript. This remote hackathon is part of a research study at @GMUCompSci@GeorgeMasonU . 4/6
