    of HF0 Residency discussed his transformative experiences with coding on the episode titled "The Monastery of Code." He shared how, as a freshman at Michigan, he tackled a tough problem by going into the basement of the EECS building with the resolve not to leave until he found a solution. This led to his vision of creating spaces where people can build without concerns, akin to being suspended in the Matrix and writing code. Fontenot explains that the magic happens when you have "relatively infinite time" to sit with a problem and let it unravel.

    He also drew parallels between the depth of focus experienced during meditation in a monastery and in coding during a hackathon. Fontenot, who organized the largest hackathon in the world and helped universities scale their own, is passionate about creating an environment for builders that spans beyond a weekend event. With HF Zero, he aspires to expand this concept into an institution that supports the most creative individuals, allowing them to focus solely on building for extended periods 1.
