Something that interested me this week
Y'all sent such kind messages to me when I mentioned I felt like I was in a funk last week! Thank you.
This week, I tried to fix the funk by blogging about styling HTML inputs and messing with some side projects during baby nap times! I have a couple projects that are nearly done and I can't wait to actually make use of some domain names. With luck, I'll be sharing those soon!

The Software House teamed up with 260 tech managers from 59 countries to bring you the updated version of the State of Frontend 2024.
This third edition goes beyond developer opinions. It adds management-level insights to uncover where leadership and engineers align and where they don’t.
Standout findings? Companies are simplifying their stacks. 68.9% of businesses are bringing AI into their workflows, and full-stack devs are cool again!
Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you make an ASCII cube generator! Y'all wrote some COOL entries, they were so fun to go through!! Awesome job David, Ten, Muhammad, Neha, Austin, Winnie, Mario, and Uwe, definitely look through these.
This week's question:
Given two arrays, return all pairs (where each number is in each array) whose sum is an odd number.
Examples:
oddSum([9, 14, 6, 2, 11], [8, 4, 7, 20])
> [9, 20], [14, 7], [11,8]
oddSum([2, 4, 6, 8], [10, 12, 14])
> null // (or whatever falsy value you prefer)
