Adrian Cochrane@jasongorman You're reminding of the shift in the notion of "hackfests".
In my experience they started as events at which to code on interesting projects, but now the ideas are what matters. With Dragon's Den-style presentations, & barely any coding.
The hackfests I like now call themselves "codesprints".
Maybe its just that businessmen are now dressing up as "hackers"?
