👉 This new blog post is all about the inspiration it brought me the very next days.
🎯 Week-end Hackathon pitch
I really love to the find the most efficient way to pitch an idea, as often visual management is a great way to achieve this:
⏱️ hackathon, 2h. timeboxing & office hours
After that, on the next saturday morning, I launched myself within a 2 hours hackathon to estimate what could be achieved during a very strict and short timeboxed session so I could organize one later on office hours, and how I could animate that session.

🤔 Learning paths considerations
After the first working prototype I felt happy with that but... I
started to dig a bit further around Go best practices, tooling, libs.
"The more I saw possibilities the more it made me want to learn more."
So my conclusion would be that using genAI to start dirty-coding from scratch a new programming language is really great as it makes things work within a very short amount of time : perfect for a hackathon.
It helps produce "something that runs" for demo purpose.
Then it made me thing about two categories:
- For those who just want to discover a programming language, build a PoC and make their opinion : it's a great way, for example to teach to code... while producing something that does more than "Hello World"
- For those who felt curious and want to go further in discovering : it's very fun
In my case I felt the need to make things better looking, automating and discovering Go language and benefits. I think I will :
-
Go on discovering
Go
language and tools - Probably test new programming languages, go on coding new ideas from scratch with GenAi too and see what happens
