We ran three hackathons on VectorAI DB before announcing general availability. 200 builders at SF Hacks. 730 at Hacklytics. Three things they taught us. Two of them changed the product. Writing them up this week. The first one lands tomorrow!

OMS Analytics student @joedom recently participated in @dsatgt's Hacklytics, a 36-hour data science hackathon, to see just how far he could push himself as the "oldest hacker in the room" in the pursuit of problem-solving. Read about Joe’s experience: vist.ly/3mw2sa4

The Oldest Hacker in the Room (me): AI, Machine Learning, and Fast-Paced Problem-Solving at @GeorgiaTech Hacklytics 2025... Read about it here 📖🐝- blog.marketingdatascience.ai… #ai #analytics #machinelearning #hackathon #georgiatech

When was the last time you worked for 36 hours straight? For these MS Analytics and OMS Analytics students, it was just last weekend at @dsatgt's Hacklytics 2025! They developed two projects comparing a human-led machine learning fraud detection with a fully automated AI system.

Had an exciting, exhausting & fruitful weekend at Hacklytics 2025, where my friends and I built Centonium, an agentic browser to reimagine how agents use the internet to carry out tasks for us, making our lives easier. We also won the best use of AWS. Check it out!

We won 'Best Use of AWS' for it at Hacklytics 2025 at Georgia Tech. What do you think @AravSrinivas? Would love to discuss more. cenotium.streamlit.app/

Grok3 sums up the best Haiku reflection for my Hacklytics 2025: "Fires roar with hope, My hands tremble, reins slip free— Vain ash crowns their dreams."

Currently at Hacklytics 2025 at Georgia Tech. We are going to build a multi-layers of chatGPT wrappers to process and clean data for analysis (also including visualizations and charts). What data? Any data

The 2025 @dsatgt Hacklytics #analytics hackathon has begun 📊🐝👨🏻‍💻. We’ll be at @GeorgiaTech all weekend solving @datascience problems. My dream team consists of fellow #gradstudents Yukti, Liza, Nayel & me (old man Joe) @gtomsanalytics #omsa #datajackets @MLHacks

🙌🏻🐝📊

We'll be cheering for both of you!

But you have a secret hacker weapon: you are a ham radio operator. As Dan Rather cryptically asked: what’s the frequency, Kenneth? You can find out the answer…

There are a few variations, but there's a grain of truth in "Age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time" 😉

So this weekend, I will go out of my comfort zone and participate in a #datascience #hackathon @hacklytics at @GeorgiaTech 🐝 with my @gtomsanalytics 📊classmate Nayel Noorani. I may be the oldest guy there! #geezerpower #analytics #datajackets #omsa #r #python
