Too Long; Didn't Read

Most hackathons are commercial endeavors, but that's not the real reason. Most code you hacked together in a hackathon is used in production code, for you to maintain and develop. The consequences are dire: you yourself have laid the foundations for a "ball of mud" architecture, which will result in chaos, bugs and spaghetti code. The harder you hack, the more you impress people, the bigger the chance that this happens. A self-organized hackathon can be powerful, good and ethical.
