For any keen programmers and mentors: practice your programming skills by doing the Advent of Code this year. Each day you get a coding puzzle, and you can compete to see who finishes first. The first few days are easy, but the challenge ramps up quickly.
I’ve been talking with another sw captain in the area and we started a ~25-person competition on day 1! It’s been super successful in fostering communications and helping make connections.
We started a private leaderboard to do a “local” friendly competition and a discord server to communicate.
