Something that interested me this week

This week ended up being way busier than I expected it to be, but I did get to enjoy some Chicago Restaurant Week food and got hyped about the Pebble Watch coming back (I still have my old one)! PLUS I actually did blog this week, about Git rebase specifically.

Also, I'll be speaking at TheJam.dev virtual (free!) conference coming up in a couple of weeks, you should join us!

I admit, the latest news coming out of the U.S. has been really hard to deal with. I hope you and your loved ones are safe, happy, and healthy, and not too stressed by it all. Act locally and build your community!

Sponsor

No sponsor this week!

But, did you know that you can join a very fun and techy Discord community via my Patreon? You should. We've been going for 5+ years, have a code of conduct and mods, and plenty of memes to go around!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find anagrams in strings! Awesome work Ten, David, Muhammad, Brett, Ricardo, Kyle, Amine, Sreetam, Neha, Winnie, Shreya, Alison, Peter, Kriszti, and Gajendra!

This week's question:
Write a function that evaluates a postfix expression (also known as Reverse Polish Notation) and returns the result. The expression will contain single-digit integers and the operators +, -, *, and /. You can assume the input is always a valid expression!

Examples:

evaluatePostfix('12+')
> 3

evaluatePostfix('56+7*')
> 77

(you can submit your answers by replying to this email with a link to your solution, or share on Bluesky, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Mastodon)
