Engineering a Hackathon with Looker

At Looker, we recognize the importance of hackathons. Before hosting our first ever external hackathon in 2018, we’d have internal hackathons (we would call them hackdays) every couple of months to let our engineers dream big and build their dream project. A number of important features in Looker came out of the minimum viable products built during our Looker hackdays. Hackathons are important for our broader community too. A developer attending a Looker hackathon can use the time and resources provided to quickly build and iterate on projects that extend Looker. Attendees get to interact directly with both Looker employees and other Looker users who are experts in various aspects of Looker’s platform. Looker engineers, in turn, get to collaborate with customers and gain a better understanding of how customers use and want to use Looker. <a href="https://medium.com/looker-engineering/looker-hack-london-4e902f761acd">Visit Now</a>
