Absolutely not! You're right on time, and we'd love to have you join us on this collaborative learning journey.

I came across this today. does weekend counts? it will be really helpful if we can add such details in readMe above. Also for weekly challenges, do we need to record/send answers to any link?
It will be great if all clarity is provided in one place.

Thanks
