<div dir="ltr">Just as a flipside to the coin I've been through several all night hackathons that go from saturday night into sunday morning (followed by a group breakfast after the sun comes up at the local IHOP or Waffle House. These hackathons were a time when everyone could come in and just work on whatever project they may be working on for several straight hours without interruption be it hardware, software, crafts, art, or whatever. This also allowed access to all the different skill sets since this attracted a majority of the membership to be present so you can ask questions or get some quick tips on how best to solve a problem with your project.</div>
