Something that interested me this week
This week I updated my website and blog setup! I have to write up how I did it, but long story short: I merged them into one big website + repository! It took more time than I expected (and oh my word, I loathe DNS things), but I'm really happy to have finally gotten it mostly done. I'll be sure to post about it soon enough, but until then, I made my blog repository a template that you can clone, deploy, and use for yourself!

Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you write a "word wrapping" function! Awesome work Ryan, Louis, Leyan, Ten, Amine, Mazen, Sam, and John!
This week's question:
Write a function that takes in a list (of length >= 3) of numbers, and returns the maximum product that can be obtained by multiplying any three integers from the list.
Example:
> maxProduct([2, 4, 1, 3, -5, 6])
> 72 // 4*3*6
