Innovating the Hacker Way
This document provides an overview of hacking and hack days. It defines hacking as exploring systems and stretching their capabilities, noting that it is a constructive term while cracking is destructive. It describes a typical hack day as 24 hours of uninterrupted coding and innovation where participants eat, get help, recharge, present their work, and have fun. It offers tips for starting a good hack such as fixing something used daily or building something for personal use. The document judges hacks based on having a working prototype, solving a real problem, good user experience, and using provided technologies uniquely. It encourages participants to focus on things that already work within the 24 hour timeframe and have fun.
