Goal: to connect, support, educate, entertain, and empower the hacker community during a trying time when many have been displaced from campuses.
Submit a PR with a question you'd like to ask the Father of Python Guido van Rossum then tune in 3/28 at 4pm to see if it's answered on Twilio TV. We'll have other activities, talks, games, and contests throughout the weekend of LA Hacks, RowdyHacks, and HooHacks to keep you entertained and learning.
