Hack Night at Wordware Beach House
## What's Hack Night? Five hours. One room full of builders. Zero BS. Hack Night is what happens when you skip the small talk and just build something. You show up with an idea (or find one there), spend a few hours turning it into something real, and demo it at the end. That's it. **When**: February 19, 2026 | 4:00 PM - 8:45 PM PT **Where**: Wordware Beach House, San Francisco ## Here's How It Works **4:00 PM - Doors Open** Show up. Grab food. Meet other builders. Figure out what you're making tonight. **4:30 PM - Quick Tech Talks** Sponsoring companies share what they're building and show off their APIs/tools. These are strictly 10 minutes each—just enough to see what's possible, then you're free to use their tech (or not) in your project. **5:30 PM - Build Time** Music on. Heads down. Build whatever you want. Two solid hours to ship something that works. This is the good part. **7:30 PM - Demo Time** Show what you made. Get feedback. See what everyone else built. Compete for prizes through the HackerSquad platform. **8:45 PM - Wrap Up** Final demos and prize distribution. Then probably keep talking about what you built because that's what builders do. ## What You Need to Bring * Your laptop * An idea (or just show up and we'll help you find one) * Willingness to ship something in a few hours That's it. Food's provided. WiFi's there. Just bring yourself and your ability to build. ## Who's This For? You're a developer who likes making things more than talking about making things. Maybe you: * Want to try out a new framework or API without overthinking it * Have a side project idea that's been sitting in your brain * Just like the energy of being around other people who build * Want to see what you can actually ship in a focused 2-hour sprint * Are tired of networking events that feel like LinkedIn came to life All skill levels welcome. Seriously. Some people show up and build their first full-stack app. Others hack together something weird with AI. Both are equally valid. ## Why It's Worth Your Evening There's something about having a hard deadline and a room full of other builders that makes you actually ship. No endless planning. No "I'll finish it later." You build it, you demo it, you're done. Plus you get to: * See what other devs are building in real-time * Learn from quick tech talks about tools you might not have tried * Actually use the food and drinks you'd normally get at events (because you'll be there working, not just networking) * Walk away with something you built today, not next month ## The Wordware Beach House Vibe We're doing this at Wordware's Beach House in SF. If you haven't been, it's worth the trip just for the space. Beachy, relaxed, perfect for heads-down building with good music and better company. ## Prizes & HackerSquad Build something cool, demo it well, and win prizes through HackerSquad. We'll share more details on prize categories closer to the event, but expect the usual: best use of sponsor tech, most creative build, best demo, etc. ## Ready to Build? Register below. Spots are limited by the venue, and these tend to fill up fast. We'll send you all the logistics (exact address, parking, what to expect) once you're confirmed. See you on the 19th. Bring your best ideas and your shipping energy.
Past Events
Hack Night at GitHub
## Hack Night at GitHub This is a night for building. No talks. No pitches. No noise. Just a room full of builders, powerful AI tools, and one simple goal: **leave with something real**. Bring an idea—or find one when you get here. Pick a project. Go heads-down. Get help if you need it. At the end, we’ll share what shipped. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start (or finally finish) something—this is it. Come curious. Leave with code.
Claude Code Hack Day at Amazon with Jam.dev
## Hack Day at Amazon This isn’t a typical hackathon. **Hack Day** is a focused, single-day build designed around **one clear problem and one shared direction**. Everyone in the room is working toward the same goal — exploring what’s possible when strong builders are given the right tools, the right constraints, and uninterrupted time. You won’t be juggling ideas or chasing prompts. You’ll be building something specific, intentional, and surprisingly powerful. Throughout the day, you’ll work hands-on with advanced AI tooling, refine your approach through iteration, and push a project from concept to something tangible. No fluff. No distractions. Just deep work, thoughtful experimentation, and quiet momentum. As the day winds down, the room opens up — projects surface, patterns emerge, and what started as an idea becomes something shared. What you build isn’t fully revealed ahead of time. That’s part of the point. Come curious. Leave with something real.
AI Hackathon SFxHamburg Coderabbit x Windsurf Christmas edition
San Francisco x Hamburg Forget the cookie exchanges and generic networking mixers. This December, we are turning up the heat. Join us for a high-intensity AI Sprint hosted in collaboration with Coderabbit and Windsurf. Not quite like your causal X-mas gathering; this one is about shipping code. Whether you are a veteran ML engineer or a full-stack dev looking to leverage the latest in AI agents or just an AI enthusiast, this is your arena. You’ll have direct access to experts from Coderabbit and Windsurf to give you the edge you need. We are looking for technicality, impact, scalability, and business sense. Come ready to team up, lock in, and deploy something impressive before the night ends.
