Also, today is a DOUBLE @trailheadtech.bsky.social day. Trailhead overall has been a great #csadvent partner through the life of #csadvent, so this is a special shoutout to them.
Over halfway through #csadvent this year, and it's been going great! Due mainly to: 1. Contributors getting their (excellent) entries in on time 2. Great behind-the-scenes work by @codingwithcalvin.net Thank you!
