Hey friends!

I hope you had a good week! Mine flew by quickly. The days are slow, the weeks are fast, and time isn’t real. Welcome to quarantine!

Something that interested me this week

I made a video about reply guys this week that got pretty popular! If you don’t know what a reply guy is, here’s a handy thread. I had a good time making it, even though the mentions and DMs have been a bit of a dumpster fire since then. Yolo, as the youths say.

Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is Scrimba!

I personally teach React on the Scrimba platform, and it’s awesome. It allows you to pause the video and interact with the instructor’s code, right there in the screencast!

Scrimba just launched the Frontend Developer Career Path, which includes:

• 70+ hours of content
• Hundreds of interactive coding challenges
• Dozens of real-world projects
• Career strategy module (finding jobs + coding interview challenges)

This career path will turn you into a hirable frontend developer as fast as possible. By the end of it, you will have learned enough HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React to get your first job as a frontend web developer.

It will also prepare you with strategies to get through the interview process, so that you increase the chance of landing your dream job. It’s fully self-paced, and you can choose whether you’d like to do it part-time of full-time.

If you join as a Scrimba subscriber today, you’ll get to keep your monthly launch price for the duration of your subscription.

Thanks, Scrimba!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you insert a node into a sorted linked list. Nice work Ten, Jasper, James, and Larisa!

This week’s question:
Given a decimal number as N, convert N into an equivalent irreducible fraction. An irreducible fraction is a fraction in which numerator and denominator are co-primes i.e., they have no other common divisor other than 1.

Joke

I bought a dog from a blacksmith. 10 minutes after we arrived home, the dog made a bolt for the door.

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and take a walk.

Special thanks to Gabor, Stephen, and Louis for supporting my Patreon and this newsletter!
