My Experience at YC Hacks (Y Combinator’s First Hackathon), by Erica Douglass (erica.biz)
YC Hacks was life-changing for me, in an incredible way. Better than any prize, this weekend showed me that I could do this. I could build and execute a concept. I could write code and create a beautiful design and it would work. I could make an entire web app come together without having to hire a developer or a designer.
