Stop victimizing yourself. There was nothing "brogrammer" about this post. Females go to gyms too!

#16I'm a female in tech. And this totally speaks to me -- please try not to make general comments like "as a female in tech". It has much more to do with your experiences than being female. Granted, I competed in Olympic lifting and played a college a D1 sport in college. (Plus, I'm pretty sure I could out-squat gaillees.)

#20Hackathons are more like the competition you're training for than putting your time in at the gym. Without frequent, consistent, measurable training you won't see any significant improvement in either lifting or programming skills. That said, it's always good to have a goal to train toward and hackathons can provide that.
