Something that interested me this week
It was absolutely LOVELY seeing your responses last week in the "getting to know you" form! There were so many and I did read all of them, but replying to all of them (I think around a thousand of you responded, as of today) is... a challenge. But just know that I loved it, ha! I wrote down a bunch of your book recommendations and I appreciate you so much for being here.
Also, a podcast I recorded a few weeks ago just came out, if you'd like to take a listen to the episode! It's a casual "fireside chat"-style interview where we talk about AI, the job market, web development, and mooore.

Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you determine if you could plant some flowers. Your answers were blooming Claude, Amine, Miguel, Saad, Muhammad, Max, Gu, Nayeem, Ricardo, Ten, Theresa, Mazen, epochDVKHN, Charles, and John!
This week's question:
Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest increasing subsequence.
Example:
> increasingSubsequence([10, 9, 2, 3, 7, 101, 18])
> 4
> increasingSubsequence([4, 4, 4, 4, 3])
> 1
