I think you meant pairing instead of peering
Unless you're making a joke about geeks not being overly social, "peering" works fine in this context. Basically, "connect with those on your level."
Hack the hackathon. My follow-at-your-own-risk pro tip: Find a team not too much into wining and - connect with others. They’re primarily networking events and are still good for that. - Don’t bother checking the sponsors boxes too much. Have fun trying technical/product ideas that interest your for any _personal_ reason. Should fit with your team project obviously. If not, keep it for next time and instead: - peer w…

I have never heard the term "Hackathon" used in any context other than a recruiting/sales event targeted at early-career types. Meatspace get-togethers focused on hacking, either for a specific project or for a clique, never used the term "Hackathon". At least in my circles. Those were just "get togethers" or maybe "hacking weekends". But with small caps. I.e., not "Hacking Weekends" or "Hackathons", but "a weekend w…

Now, did you mean memberberries? Like famous actor Rich Evans (as seen on Ellen) says? I can't remember if he says rememberberries and I'm laying down and don't have grep on my phone.

Mid 40s and I'll still do all-nighters on occasion when necessary. Recovering from sleep is no problem, recovering from an angry wife after sleeping well into the afternoon is trickier! ;D
