I did the hike from Pokhara to Ghorepani (Poon Hill is breathtaking btw) and a few other small villages (about a week and half of backpacking). This was after a month in Kathmandu before and a month after. My absolute favorite parts of the whole trip were the teahouses and the roadside food stands. The food was excellent. The hosts were always extremely kind. This was back in 2009. It's now almost 20 years later and I've been itching to go back. Nepal will always have a place in my soul, there is no place like it.

There was 18F which was a group within US Digital Services. But as mentioned they got DOGEd. They managed the USWDS (US Web Design System), which was making great efforts to create a unified design and accessibility framework for government websites. I was working pretty closely on a contract project until, well, shakes hands wildly all this. They were great people, great designers and really cared about what they were doing.

As for enforcement of adhering to 508 and a11y compliance, US digital projects were guided by executive order M-23-22, "Delivering a Digital-First Public Experience", but from what I can tell that is kind of up in the air at this point... we are following it until someone tells us otherwise, but I don't think it is being enforced anymore with any passion because of the current confusion.

About to finish the WGU BSCS program myself and have made a lot of friends in the program along the way. Many, including myself, that choose to go to grad school look at Georgia Techs OMSCS program, which is a very solid/reputable program.
