🌄 I travelled though east Sikkim

Hello there!

I travelled through east Sikkim last weekend—It's a truly serene landscape, and very, very cold. I shared some pictures too!

I also got a shoutout from Cassidy! It feels like I've come full circle since her newsletter has always been a huge inspiration—check it out if you haven't already.

Lastly, Advent of Code 2021 is just around the corner; it's an advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. If you're interested, lemme know by replying to this email/contacting me on Twitter so I can add you to a private leaderboard. 👀
