Something that interested me this week
Welp, I've finished week 1 of being a parent of TWO babies. Whew. It's been exhausting, but also somewhat easier than I expected? I think experience really does help. We're not as stressed about funky noises or anything, and we know how to burp a baby and change a baby and... generally how to keep one alive.
...But also we have a toddler at the same time.
Anyway. I'm in the trenches over here, but hanging in there. My newborn is chilling watching me write this, and I can say with certainty that all of the pains of pregnancy, the c-section, and the hormonal swings are worth it.

Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you compress an array of characters! Good work Kracekumar, Kyle, Neha, Miguel, Ross, Austin, Andrew, Ashuzon, Roodz, David, Muhammad, Ten, Jeremias, and Danny!
This week's question:
Write a function that takes a list of strings and returns the longest string that is a prefix of at least two strings in the list.
Examples:
longestCommonPrefix(["flower","flow","flight"])
"flow"
longestCommonPrefix(["dog","racecar","car"])
""
longestCommonPrefix(["interstellar","internet","interval"])
"inter"
