On this wide ranging conversation we sit down with Maria Yarotska, Hackathon Headmistress of the NEAR Ecosystem, contributor at DevHub.

Some of the topics we cover and stood out to me:

* Anatomy of a hacker: tales from an experienced hackathon organiser on what makes some teams thrive and others burst in flames.
* Maria's Origins: attending a Space Tech hackathon that changed her life.
* Thoughts on different approaches to hackathons. In particular, her answer to what she would do if she had unlimited budget blew my mind.
