Let's Help Hackathons Change More Lives for the Better

I love the focus on Diversity and Inclusion during this hackathon season.

Sam Altman said in a blogpost "People who are not white males will start many of the best companies of the future, and we’d like to fund them," and I think that's true of people making and accomplishing incredible things in the hacker community too.

Everyone has the potential to become a fantastic hacker/potential founder given the opportunity and I'm really proud of MLH for focusing on this.

Hackathons have personally changed my life. At them i've met some of my closest friends, and some of my best mentors. The work that MLH is doing is great they are really improving the quality of the events and the community as a whole.

Rock on!
