First hackathon

So I just had my first hackathon a few days ago! It was centered around mobile apps, and, boy, did I have a hard time!

  • Java + JNI is a pain to implement
  • Web development seems all over the place with a million frameworks
  • Java + JNI + C/C++ is REALLY not fun

I didn’t even get to finish my app! After implementing a native function, I couldn’t manage to link the libraries I wanted to and ended up wasting 3/4 of all the time of the hackathon.

Such a waste.
