Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week! Mine was SO busy and I am downright pooped, but excited for the week ahead. Onwards!

Something that interested me this week

This week at Netlify, we had some big releases! We launched a new pricing plan, and support for GitHub Enterprise and self-hosted GitLab. It was all hands on deck internally, and it was great seeing it finally cross the finish line.

I personally am pretty excited about the pricing changes! It’s a little more expensive for some teams, but it’s much cheaper for small teams/individual developers who want more than the free plan. In addition to the release, I got to help out on social media too. It was productive.

Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is Flossbank!

I personally started trying out Flossbank after their launch this past week and so far I’ve been liking it. It’s an opt-in tool for supporting open source by adding an advertisement in your terminal while you npm install.

Features:

• It’s seamless - Your dev workflow doesn’t have to change at all to use it.
• It’s an opt-in wrapper around your package manager, so you don’t have to worry about it being injected into your installation scripts.
• Support open source for free. Only see tech content ads in the terminal during installation of open source packages. Check out how it looks here!
• Don’t like ads? Add in your own funds to your account to be distributed to the projects you care about.
• No more maintaining donations to various maintainers, just give back to the projects you use with zero maintenance on your part.
• Signup and installation is easy peasy, all you need is your email and then you run a CLI command to install.

Follow Flossbank on Twitter and sign up here!

Thanks Flossbank for sponsoring and supporting open source!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you convert a number into an irreducible fraction. Great job Jasper, Enis, Lauren, Matt, BK, Kaveh, James, and Ten!

This week’s question:
Given a string S containing only digits, write a function that returns a list containing all possible combinations of valid IPv4 IP addresses.

Example:

$ getIp('11211')
1.1.2.11
1.1.21.1
1.12.1.1
11.2.1.1

Joke

Ugh, eBay is so useless. I tried to look up lighters, but all they had were 3,141 matches.

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