Hackathons teach you to ship fast. The time limit forces you to build something market-ready instead of perfecting it, which builds a shipping muscle that's one of the most valuable skills for product creators. Try Devpost or Lab AI hackathons to practice.
Over the last couple of years, I've participated in a lot of hackathons. I find them to be super helpful for building up that muscle of shipping quickly. I find that I would really recommend no-code professionals or people who are considering shipping a product into market, really of any kind, go check out things like Devpost or, or the Lab AI hackathon, um, or others that you might find helpful to just be in the practice of having a limited timeframe, creating a product, putting into the world that can be judged, has certain limitations on it. You will find that this sort of builds up a muscle and keeps you from precious about it, right? And it keeps you from saying, oh God, it'd be perfect if this is my dream thing. It's going to be a thing that can work with bigger competition. And that habit of shipping is, I think, one of the most important technical skills that we can have as product creators and as product managers. So if you are trying to figure out what to do next, you're not entirely sure where your product should go, I totally recommend checking out Hackathon.
