Brooklyn’s Coding Fair Hacks in Greenpoint

Greenpoint clicked last night with Brooklyn’s Coding Fair, wiring NYC’s spring at a Nassau hall. Dev Tariq Evans demoed apps as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at scripts. It’s borough bytes—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid built a game; a pro pushed a site. ‘Brooklyn codes—this is it,’ Evans says, typing lines. The floor turned lab.

The fair’s fresh—March 21’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by noon. Evans, a Williamsburg coder; last night’s crowd hit max—keys tapped. A latecomer nabbed a rig; demos buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—code ruled. #BKCodingFair trended; Queens wants a script.

Some griped—’Too geeky,’ sniped a newbie, dodging loops. Power surged—fixed quick; builds held. A rival’s pitching a Bushwick hack, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. Greenpoint’s never hacked so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a hackathon if spring bites. ‘NYC’s tech—this grows it,’ he says, packing drives. The fair’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets grid. It’s a code rush; catch the next. Bring a laptop—bugs call.
