The core Roc contributors are recruiting new Roc app developers to use Roc in October (starting next weekend) to solve a variety of coding puzzles, primarily the fun set from Advent of Code 2021. This will stress test the Roc app dev experience, generate priority feedback/bugs/enhancements to implement in November, and prepare Roc as a language for an expected influx of new users in December. There is no min/max time commitment or participation expectation, we just want you to have fun.
To sign up, simply react to this message with a :jack-o-lantern:! If you have any questions or comments, this topic is open, or private message me.
Please also invite any friends/peers in the next few days who you think would enjoy trying Roc for app dev, might provide insightful feedback for us, or just enjoy a coding challenge. See you soon! :smiley:

Currently I'm fighting my development setup on a macbook that hasn't been used in a few months^^ updates are weird
