A yearly poop storm on GitHub during October. People mess with other peoples code like it's their last day on Earth. Most people think it's a hacker riot, but it's just programmers trying to look cool.
"I spent 3 hours fixing someone's code during Hacktoberfest. It was like pulling teeth.", @programmer42
My boss thought I was hacking the company server. I just had 100 pull requests open.
Hacktoberfest is like a coding food fight. Everyone throws code, and no one knows why.
