As a coding-vacation? Or as something that blends well with remote work?
We've adjusted the format of the current Hacker Retreat to accommodate people working (remotely, on their startup, etc) - 20% of your time is committed to learning, the rest of the time is up to you. The time-span is over 2 months minimum. We're currently taking applications for the Batch-02 starting in May/June.
Super-compressed, 1-2 week retreats are something we've thought about, especially for advanced topics like data science and functional programming...may do it later, but not this summer.
I was thinking coding vacation. I perform improv on the side, and it's not unheard of to have intensive 'improv camps' for adults over the summer where performers go for up to a week at a location to focus on improving performance skills.
I love the hack camp idea and chance to fully dive into something with like minded people, it just needs to fit into something I can spend my vacation days on.
Yep, it would be fun to do that for code - we're thinking of different models and timings for Hacker Retreat. Consider sub'ing to our email list to stay in touch, thanks.
