          • https://adventofcode.com/ : yearly programming puzzle advent calendar that gets increasingy difficult with the days. When you’re starting out you should probably stick with the first couple of days. You can check out older advent calendars by visiting https://adventofcode.com/{year} (like https://adventofcode.com/2024 for example).
          • https://projecteuler.net/archives : also programming challenges that increase in difficulty. These are mostly related to mathematics.
