I was a graduate student in philosophy, accustomed to conferences that were philosophy-ish and graduate-student-esque. THATCamp stood in stark contrast to this background, and as a result was very new and exciting. An event where academics would get together to talk about things that were actually interesting, independently motivated, and new — the very idea of it! Fast forward two years. I build stuff for a living. All I ever do is hack.

As a result, I actually look forward to the occasional yak. And, in fact, I do feel pretty happy about it, especially after all these years. THATCamp can be like a dude ranch. Moreover, people like Patrick Murray-John have been making some interesting, if tentative, arguments for the ways in which the modes of thinking exemplified by coding might interesect with, and augment, the modes typified by traditional academic work.

Plus, learning to code is just plain fun. They learned these lessons not by listening to lectures, but in the high-stakes, hands-on environment of real-life software development. One Week One Tool is inspired by both longstanding and cutting-edge models of rapid community development.

One Week One Tool builds on these old and new traditions of community development and the natural collaborative strengths of the digital humanities community to produce something useful for humanities work and to help balance learning and doing in digital humanities training. Generously funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
