🎯 Overview

We're hosting our first Practical Data Unhinged AI Vibe Coding Hackathon!

This is a fun, chaotic hackathon where we vibe code apps with AI and then show them off.

No pressure, no enterprise KPIs — just unhinged creativity, chaos, and cool builds.

If you’re not a member of the Practical Data Discord group, join it **here.**
