400 Singapore Coders Hack, Rave, Snooze & Win $100K+
At Singapore University of Technology and Design, 400 caffeine-fueled vibe coders survived Cursor's 24-hour AI hackathon sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind, competing for a chunky $100K+ in cash and swag. Highlights include a 13-year-old family trio coding an AI college counsellor under dadās watchful eye, a recent grad blitzing his Windsurf marketing tool in 2.5 hours (morning productivity goals?), and organizers desperately dropping rave music at 3 a.m. to keep a crowd that's likely more dead than alive awake. Meanwhile, pizza lines rivaled the speed of code, and some brought toothbrushes for the overnight combat, because sleep and hygiene are apparently negotiable.
