About
Life After Code is a global hackathon for developers and builders who are ready to hand the rest of the DevSecOps lifecycle to their agents. Writing the code is the easy part now. What happens next is the challenge.
Registration is now open. When submissions open on October 5th, we will share the full challenge details, including paths, prizes, judges, and resources. You will then have until October 27th at 1:00 PM UTC to create and submit your project.
Participate on your own or with a team. Registration is free, and you can decide how you enter later. Use the time before launch to find teammates and plan your idea.
