I ran my first hackathon in Tokyo on Saturday :) 190 signups for 70 spots. 40+ builders showed up, built for 5 hours and shipped 20+ projects. 🏆 Wildfire Sentinel: spots wildfires from NASA satellite data and predicts how they spread 2nd Agent Jam Band @kellymartindev : a live band of AI agents playing off each other 3rd Underwatch: checks what coding agents say they did against what they actually did thanks to @neo4j and @aiand_ for backing it. more to come

first @Plus81builders event is a hackathon. 30 spots left Oct 17th in tokyo. build an AI agent end to end, demo live at the end. English or Japanese, you don't need both food all day, prizes and credits, maybe the MVP for your next startup :)) thanks @neo4j for backing the first one, more sponsors soon link below 👇

Tokyo has everything you need to build. what it's missing is rooms where people actually build together 🗼 I've won 5 hackathons, judged a bunch more across Europe, and spoke at GitHub HQ. the best rooms I was ever in all had laptops open, people building and showing each other what they were working on events here usually go the same way. someone talks about AI for an hour, you go home, nobody opens a laptop so I'm starting +81 Builders. hackathons and build nights for ambitious builders in Japan, Japanese or not. bring whatever you're working on, leave with it further along first build night: Oct 17th. link below 👇 let's make tokyo a city that builds
