Hello friends!
Welcome back! I hope you had a great week, and for you Americans, a great long weekend. A little late this week, sorry about that. Let's boogie!

Something that interested me this week
This past week was my first week at
CodePen! It was (and still is) awesome so far. This truly is my dream job. The team has been fun to get to know, and because we're small, it's so exciting to make an impact right away. I also spoke on
CodePen Radio on the episode released on Tuesday, if you'd like to check it out!
One thing that I am really still getting used to is working from home/remotely. I'm planning on joining a co-working space and planning my days consistently, but it's definitely an adjustment. In terms of productivity, it's fantastic. No interruptions really helps me get stuff done. That being said, the lack of interruptions makes me so focused that I don't get up from my desk regularly enough! So, I'm working on that. If you have tips in that regard, I'm all ears!
Interview question of the week
Last time, I had you solve a maze of 1s and 0s! We got some great answers from
Saransh,
Eva, and
Andrew!
This week, we're going to change it up with a non-coding question. Reply to this email with your response! I'm looking forward to reading them (and let me know if you don't want me to share your replies anonymously to next week's letter):
Would you continue to contribute to an open-source project if you found out that it was being used for some projects that contradict your personal values?

That's all for now folks, have a good one. Be safe, make good choices, and apply critical thinking to your decision-making.
