Abstract
This chapter looks at the concept of code work, exploring how participants in hackathons immerse themselves in coding to navigate narratives of developmentalist change and modernity promoted by political parties. It follows individuals like Chavita, Leo, and El Pato as they engage in hackathons, coworking spaces, and hacker schools, embodying the hacker spirit and cultivating a hacker ethic. Amidst protests and violence characterizing state practices in Mexico, the hacker-entrepreneurs appropriate discourses of flexibility and self-management while allowing their code work to guide them and respond to neoliberal economic reforms and political transitions. The chapter details how code work provides a conceptual toolkit to analyze political economy, challenge narratives of backwardness, and offer alternative visions of modernity through coding logic. In the backdrop of political and economic reforms, hackathons serve as sites for the coproduction of the state and hackers, where coding becomes foundational for reconfiguring relationships.
