Can Philly devs take the crown at this $100K coding competition?

Back for it’s second annual edition, this year’s OpenBracket coding competition is packing twice the moolah.

The code-off, which will hold its finals Oct. 20 in Wilmington, Del., is aiming to entice developers from all over the country with a $100,000 prize pool.
