RSVP [here on Luma](https://luma.com/dq9aq8wp) ☕ 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. ​📍 Event Details ​Date: 29.03.2026 ​Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM ​Location: United Coffee Beans (UCB) Nizami Street. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97](https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97?utm_source=luma) ​Cost: Free (Price of 1 Coffee) ​Let’s turn caffeine into code. See you at the cafe!
