Hello!

I hope you had a good week! I was SWAMPED this week with work, and I'm hoping this one will be a little less busy. Let's get scootin'.

Something that interested me this week

I'll be speaking at Next.js Conf this week! I made a fun demo for it and I'm excited to share it. I streamed a preview of it (skip to 1h30m in), PLUS we're doing some exciting releases at work this week that we'll be announcing (on the blog) soon!

Sponsor

This week's sponsor is Studio 3T!

MongoDB is easy - Now make it powerful!

Studio 3T is the IDE for MongoDB that saves you up to 10 hours of time a week. How?

• Generate driver code from your MongoDB & SQL queries with Query Code, Studio 3T’s code generation feature. Convert your queries to one of 5 target languages instantly.
• Import/Export wizards run, automate, and schedule your import/export tasks. SQL, JSON, CSV, and BSON/mongodump formats are supported, and much more!
• Aggregation has never been easier: with Studio 3T’s Aggregation Editor, you can break down your queries into stages, so you can apply pipeline operators and check your results at every step.

With 8 major releases alone this year, we take customer feedback seriously - and offer fast, dedicated technical support. With 30 days FREE (no credit card needed!) to trial Studio 3T for MongoDB, what’s stopping you?

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you make an HTML tag validator. Great work Pozorvlak, Rizwan, Roman, Jesse, Jay, William, Sameer, and Ten!

This week's question:
Given an integer array arr, sort the integers in arr in ascending order by the number of 1's in their binary representation and return the sorted array.

Examples:

$ sortBits([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])
$ [0,1,2,4,8,3,5,6,7]

Joke

Why does a chicken coop only have two doors?
Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan.

That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and water your plants!
