Frequently Asked Questions

## Where's my ticket to the hackathon?
We had an extensive *application* process that was detailed by Quincy on at https://hackathon.freecodecamp.org/ . If you *successfully* completed this process, and you were *one of the first 300 to do so* (for the in-person event), then you were sent a ticket to the email address provided in your application. If you do not have a ticket then I'm sorry, but you cannot attend the in-person hackathon. But you are welcome to join the online hackathon.

## What is the JAMstack?
The JAMstack is a powerful new approach for deploying fast, highly scalable sites and applications that don't require backend infrastructure. Thanks to recent advancements in the web platform, developers can now run any web property, from simple sites to complex applications, on global CDNs and without a single web server. Learn more about how the JAMstack works [here](https://jamstackconf.com/what-is-jamstack).

## Can the online participants and in-person participants be on the same team?
Unfortunately no. This makes things needlessly complicated. Further, there are separate prizes and judging protocol for the online and in-person hackathon. If we discover that your in-person team has remote collaborators, you will be disqualified.

## Can the online/in-person hackers still chat?
Of course. We're all in the same Discord chat group. And since this hackathon is largely about education, the in-person/remote groups should both help each other out by answering questions.

### The Process -- what it means

Building great software isn't just about the code you write. Your planned approach to building it that is equally if not more important. So here's what this means for you as a hacker at this hackathon:
* Judges will pose a number of questions for you, and share them with you in the Discord group
* Judges will visit teams and ask you these questions to see how you are handling your approach to building your app. Do you have a plan of action? Are you organized in your list of responsibilities and dividing tasks? Are the goals realistic given the limited time frame?
* These ad-hoc interviews will take place shortly after lunch on Saturday. We will livestream the
Building great software isn't just about the code you write. Your planned approach to building it just as important. So here's what this means for you as a hacker at this hackathon:

* Your answers to these questions will be a small percentage of your overall judging score.
