Something that interested me this week

I started a new job this week! I am officially the Head of Developer Experience and Education at Remote. I’m really excited about this new role. I’ll be focusing on building curriculum and tools for developers to get remote jobs!

My first week of work was a very busy one full of onboarding and setting things up. It’s a good kind of busy, though, and everyone’s been super kind so far! If you’d like to learn more about Remote, one of their values is transparency, and their employee handbook is public!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return possible paths between points. I loved the variety of answers! Awesome job Yash, Ben, Pedro, Rafael, Don, Leyan, Jay, Laryssa, Adam, Daniel, Ten, and Ivana!

This week’s question is sponsored by Sourcegraph!
Given a string s, you can transform every letter individually to be lowercase or uppercase. Return a list of all possible permutations you could create from s.

Example:

$ capPermutations("ab2")
$ ["ab2","aB2","Ab2","AB2"]

$ capPermutations("35p")
