Coders sought for paradise island hackathon

If you fancy an idyllic lifestyle surrounded by people that meet your every need then how about the ultimate hacking experience on a remote tropical island in the Philippines?


It might sound like a flight of fancy but it's the real deal and the 'Come Hack With Us' hackathon is the brainchild of Walter Heck, the event's organiser. Successful candidates will live on an as yet unspecified tropical island for two months while coding on certain projects and unsurprisingly 4000 people have already shown an interest.


It's not all plain sailing though as prospective island coders will have to submit proposals for what they're intending to work on and complete a psychological evaluation to ensure they're compatible with fellow coders.

Find out more from the Come Hack With Us website and the BBC has also covered this story here.
