🎙️In this week's #WGHpodcast episode, the final one of Series 4 and 2025, Carl Storms & John Pierson are sticking with the vibe coding train, but take a quick side quest into hackathons and the early days of vibe coding before AI showed up.

We get into the chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived world of hackathons and how they’ve shifted with AI in the mix. Carl and John trade stories, look at the gap between old-school maker culture and today’s AI-driven workflows, and talk about why hackathons are more welcoming than ever.
