I attended Twilio’s Signal conference and they had Twilio Quest running at their hackathon.

As the head of my little startup I was supposed to schmooze and attend all the biz type talks - what did I do instead for the entire morning? I spent it on the Twilio Quest hackathon coding away.

Haven’t had that much fun coding since college. Could not believe Twilio put so much effort into what I assumed would be a small side show at their conference.

This kind of commitment is incredibly impressive and really endears developers and technical users who see this side of Twilio. I even think it has applications outside of Twilio as a teaching tool if it could be frameworked up and open sourced.

Incredibly impressed by Quest and so tempted to see if I can improve my score!



Now you made me want to spend time playing it :-)
