Startup Weekend failed, but lessons learned

They learned a lesson indeed: "Development is hard. This is all that will matter."

Is anyone else confused by the premise of startup weekend? It sounds like a fun idea, but the whole concept seems a little silly to me.<p>

70 days and 2 people would work much better than 2 days and 70 people.

This is the first I'd heard of startupweekend. They seem to be off on some basic ideas, as other comments here concur. Throwing more developers at a problem doesn't usually solve it. A weekend is barely enough time to think about an idea thoroughly.<p>But it does sound like fun though. A barcamp should take the idea to the illogical extreme and hold a startup-hour session. :)
