The same goes for flights from Amsterdam. Strangely enough, Scandinavian Airlines also operates on an inhumane schedule. Only passengers from a star-striped country disembark, albeit sleepily, […]

The dark side of hackathons

Posted on

In the previous part of this trilogy, I discussed several reasons to participate in hackathons.
