Something that interested me this week

I finished up being on Wix's Dev Advisory Board this week! It was a cool experience to be able to see an area of the tech world that I didn't know anything about, and help give my perspective.

In parenthood news, my baby crossed the 10-week mark and has started cooing regularly, and my heart is a little puddle all the time. That's been pretty dang awesome. I'm not back at work yet, but my team launched some awesome stuff this past week if you wanna check it out!

Sponsor

No sponsor this week (the economy, amirite), have a happy first week of July (and 4th of July for you Americans)!

I'd appreciate deeply if you share this newsletter with your friends, coworkers, or anyone you think might like it. Or who might hate-read it. Or who might just be bored and want another email in their inbox every week.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return missing letters in an array. Awesome job Clifford, Miguel, Jesper, Leyan, Miguel, Jesper, Leyan, Ángel, Vesa, Ten, Harsh, Debabrata, Leo, Kyle, Daniel, David, Mica, Austin, Mazen, Will, Craig, Rob, Laurynas, Brendan, Angad, Manuel, Sreetam, Dan, and Churchill!

This week's question:
Given an integer n, return true if it's a perfect square AND when reversed, is still a perfect square.

Example:

> reversedSquares(9)
> true

> reversedSquares(441)
> true

> reversedSquares(25)
> false

Joke

Every single morning, there's a bike that comes out of nowhere and tries to attack me.
It's a vicious cycle!

That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and take a nap if you need one!
