📚"If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies." - Jon Stewart

Hello friends!

I hope you're having a great week so far. Mine has been fun (week 2 on the new job with React Training!), and I'm excited for the fall weather that's slowly but surely approaching. Onwards!

Something that interested me this week

One of my current collab projects that's out right now is DSA Astrolokeys, a cute, pastel keycap set! I've been working on it with @sailorhg for a few months now, and we're really excited to finally have it live and available for people to get and stick on their keyboards.
We recently stuck it on Product Hunt, too! Please upvote (starting tomorrow, Friday), share, and help get it out there! <3

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you put together a function that dealt with jumping across a list in minimal steps. Nice work Lauren, William, Stuart, Micah, Ilya, Jehiel, Pablo, Jonathan, Joan, and Vina!

This week's question:
Implement a square root function (without using an exponential function).

Why should you never eat a clock?
