Something that interested me this week

I had a bit of mental space this week to write about my second c-section experience! It's kind of a graphic one, as a warning, but if you or anyone you know might be getting a c-section (or two) at some point, it could be a useful read! Beyond that... it's been very hectic on my end still getting used to having two kiddos around, but I'm grateful.

Also, thanks Stephen for the shoutout in your blog! I love seeing when folks redo their portfolios.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return string prefixes. I made some sleepy typos in the examples, thanks for your patience y'all! Anyway, good work Jeremias, ashuzon, David, Ten, Ramsés, Muhammad, Leo, Joey, Kracekumar, Kasia, Prashil, Elke, and Neha!

This week's question:
Given two integers origin and target, add operators in the origin number to make it equal target, if possible. You can return just one, or all possibilities for this!

Examples:

> addOperators(123, 6)
> ["1*2*3", "1+2+3"]

> addOperators(3456237490, 9191)
> [] // none possible
