DevTrace: Our First Overnight Hackathon, Three Friends, and a Journey of Building Together

Students participated in their first hackathons, including Hack Day Sonipat and Hacktoberfest Hack Day. Team CodeSins, led by Pulkit Goel, Vibhav Maurya, Uday Saha, and Nischay Jain, faced technical hurdles building a puzzle within twelve hours. Other participants learned the importance of asking AI "why" to understand problem reasoning before implementation. These overnight events emphasized building products from scratch under pressure, managing unexpected technical failures, and collaborating with friends to turn ideas into working software.
