"have no set purpose" - you can't code without somebody else handfeeding you a purpose? God forbid we hold an open-ended event and let the programmers decide what to build!
And I'm sorry I didn't realize there was a minimum time limit for writing code to be considered "programming". Next time I only code for 8 hours, I'll be sure to remind everybody that it didn't really count.
I didn't say there was a minimum time to be considered programming. I said "spend 8 hours doing something random" isn't a hackathon. "OpenBSD developers spending a week hacking on OpenBSD" is a hackathon.

sigh Why do I poke at the trolls?
