Hack and Tell

If you've ever visited Hacker News, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack, or idea. We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), startup (this isn't the NY Tech Meetup though), whatever. We're language and software/hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game. After you present, it's an open forum. The audience will ask questions and provide feedback. We want to enable as much participation as possible at these meetups, so you'd better be able to take criticism and dish it out (all within reason of course).

Events coming up

We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.

Past events

  • Round 12: Don't recruit me, bro!

    6-7 Sep 2011 in New York, United States

    By now you know the drill, but for anyone new to the show...5 minutes to show off a piece of hardware, a new programming language, a JavaScript library for building widgets, a Python script that computes the root mean squared error of data about ants(?), or anything else you've done on your own time for fun, rather than work related.

  • Round 8: It's fib(6)! *

    4-5 Apr 2011 in New York, United States

    5 Minutes to show off your hack, your library, your visualization, your new programming language, your amazing new widget, whatever. After those 5 minutes, we the audience, get 5 minutes to pick your brain, give you feedback, tell you that we love it or hate it (there's hardly ever anything to hate, and we're really nice people)

  • Round 0b111 "it's prime man"

    7-8 Mar 2011 in New York, United States

    The format stays the same. 5 Minutes to show off your hack, your library, your visualization, your new programming language, whatever. After those 5 minutes, we the audience, get 5 minutes to pick your brain, give you feedback, tell you that we love it or hate it (we've been very successful so far!).Other than that, there are 2 rules: No Startup Pitches, and No Deckware -- We wanna see demos of things working right now (or at least a video of it working, if it involves hardware or something)
