Something that interested me this week

It was a good week! Very much a "catch up" week as I've been trying to dig through my inbox and get some of my projects on track.

That being said, I have some fun news: I'm going to be returning as a regular host on the Stack Overflow Podcast, and I was renewed as a GitHub Star for 2024! I'm really honored to be in a position where I can contribute to the tech community in multiple ways. Which makes me want to say, again and again: Thank you for reading this!

This week's question:
Make a pomodoro timer where a user can start the timer, pause for a set break time, and continue after the break. You can choose how you want to show your timer. A typical pomodoro is 25 minutes of work, and then a 5 minute break, and repeat!
