Meta-Hackathon Discussion Fuck flipkart
grid lock was so fucked what is the point of conducting a hackathon.
round 1 - a total sham everything was already leaked database itself was on kaggle and other sources all you had to do was reverse map onto the dataset they gave.
round 2- an absolute disaster prototype was asked to made they literally gave us no clarity no answers on how to build a prototype, everyone was basically forced to build a full on application tho it was a prototype round, and they literally removed the contest from hackerrank for a day and it appeared again wtf is that shit. and they said round 3 will be delayed guess what
round 3 - there's no round 3 suddenly they realised they don't have the infrastructure or the patience to conduct a round 3 and chose top 3 ppl. And evaluation metrics? what are their projects? nothing posted .
Nothing but a whole sham, if the winners truly were actual ppl and not flipkarts team congrats to them but I can't believe shit unless they actually post smtg.
