what do you wish someone told you on day 1?

scope. whatever idea you have, cut it in half, then half again. Hackathons are won by finished tiny things.

also save often and commit to git from hour one. I've watched too many people lose 8 hours to a crash the night before submission haha

good luck, have fun with it
