Episode 04-06: What About Hackathons In The Vibe Coding Era?

Carl Storms Season 4 Episode 6

Welcome back to Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks!  This is the sixth and final episode of Series 4, The Great Unknown. We stick with the vibe coding train, but take a quick side quest into hackathons and the early days of vibe coding before AI showed up.

This finale dives into the chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived world of hackathons and how they’ve evolved with AI-powered coding. Carl and John swap stories from past events, compare old-school maker culture with today’s AI-assisted workflows, and break down why hackathons are more inclusive than ever.

True story. AI helped polish this very summary. When you’re on a vibe, you stay on a vibe.
