- My team tried worked on a stock market simulator. While we didn’t finish
it, I certainly learned some valuable lessons about working on a 7 person
group in a hackathon setting. We split into client and server teams and
updated a shared document called
server_api.py
whenever a team changed their API. Hilarity ensued as a team would yell “Why doesn’t your code work!” “We changed the API, didn’t you read the doc.” “Oh, didn’t see that.” Going forward, I learned the importance of working in smaller teams, stabilizing shared API early, and setting checkpoints where both teams would merge and rebase so the project was nearly always in a working state. - Source on GitHub
