Thinking of making some hackathon sprints.
Would a 2 week sprint (1 week building, 1 week marketing) a good duration?
The goal is to combine the small bets and shape up principles of @dvassallo and @jasonfried.

Can’t support hey or basecamp since @DHH and @jasonfried think politics or social discussions are not appropriate for the workplace. This is a political choice made by cishet white men that don’t want to do the work of affecting change, yet they cry censorship at Apple. Fucksake.
