Why it matters
Hackathon winners presenting working projects give developers a concrete look at what Claude Code can accomplish end-to-end, from scaffolding to shipping — far more actionable than product demos or blog posts.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Claude Code sessions accumulate tokens fast across multi-file edits and iterative debugging loops. Builders who have shipped real projects can share which workflow patterns minimize wasted context and keep costs predictable.
From the organizers
The event features presentations from winners of the March 28 Claude Hackathon and is hosted by Joanna Gough at Multnomah County Library Albina branch, Room 1A, 205 NE Russell St, Portland.
