Hackcafe
☕ HackCafe: Build, Sip, Ship.
Baku’s Architects, Seniors, and Founders: This is for you.
Forget the 48-hour marathons and the pitch decks. We’re going back to the roots of pure development. HackCafe is a 3.5-hour "Sprint-to-Demo" session where we turn caffeine into functional code. No judges, no rankings—just high-level networking and shipping MVPs.
We are bringing together the three pillars of the Baku dev scene for one morning of intense building:
🛠 The Stack (Provided for all Builders) To make sure we move fast, our partners are fueling the session with premium access:
Google Develeoper Groups Baku: Instant access to Google AI Studio & Gemini API Keys and GCP credit
AWS User Group Baku: AWS Credits to deploy your backend/infra on the spot.
Cursor Baku: Cursor Credits to experience the fastest AI-assisted coding environment.
🎯 Who is this for? We are specifically looking for experienced developers and architects who:
Want to Socialize: Skip the LinkedIn networking; meet your peers while actually building something together.
Want to Experiment: Have a "weekend project" or a new AI tool you’ve been dying to try? This is your window.
Value "Shipping": We don't care about perfect code. We care about a working demo in 3 hours.
📜 The HackCafe "Un-Rules" The Cafe Tax: The event is free, but we support our local hosts. Every builder must buy at least one coffee/snack.
No Slides Allowed: Your "presentation" at the end is 2 minutes of showing us your code or your running app.
Bias for Action: Don't spend 2 hours on setup. With Cursor + AWS + Google AI, you should have a prototype running in 60 minutes.
⏰ The Schedule 11:00 AM: The Pitch Fire (Find a partner or grab your credits).
11:15 AM: Deep Work & Hacking.
2:00 PM: The Demo Reel (Rapid-fire show & tell).
2:30 PM: Networking & Wrap-up.
🎒 What to Bring Your Laptop & Charger. (Power outlets are limited, so come with a full battery if possible!)
An Open Mind. Be ready to help a neighbor or learn a new tool.
A "Bias for Action." Don't spend 3 hours choosing a CSS framework—just start building.
Note: Space is limited by the cafe's capacity. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it.
