Gweek

Rare slang for ‘geek week,’ signifying an intense hackathon or deep dive into BTC development.
Share

‘Gweek’ might pop up in niche developer circles to describe a week-long coding binge or workshop focused on Bitcoin tech. It’s an informal term, not a standard acronym—more of a playful nod to the immersive nature of collaborative hackathons, where developers eat, sleep, and breathe code.

While not commonly used in mainstream parlance, the concept is universal: gather motivated coders, provide coffee and pizza, and churn out prototypes or major software improvements in a short, focused time. Events like the Lightning Hackdays or other dev summits essentially embody the ‘gweek’ spirit, albeit with official branding.
