Something that interested me this week

Last week I described my week as “a lesson in scheduling things” and clearly I didn’t listen to my own lesson, as I recorded 7 different podcast episodes, did a fun Twitter Space for the Astro 2.0 launch, did a livestream about AI and what we’re building at Contenda, and had a whole lot of meetings. But, as tiring as it was, it was really fun talking to so many cool developers!

Our latest episode of The Dev Morning Show (at night) came out as well, and you won’t want to miss us geeking out with Jeri Ellsworth!

Also, man… I watched the new Last of Us episode tonight, and whew, what a journey.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you truncate a list of integers! Y’all did awesome with this one! Great job Daniel, Paweł, Saad, Miguel, Giovanni, Fraol, Nate, Eric, Elizabeth, Brian, Dan, Shannon, Muhammad, Ed, Sreetam, Leyan, Alberto, Ángel, Andrei, Max, Danny, Alessandra, Don, Waleed, Dan, Remo, Chris, Les, Ten, pohhj, and Kyle!

This week’s question:
Given a positive integer, generate an array in which every element is an array that goes from 1 to the index of that array.

Example:

> generateArrays(4)
> [[1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4]]

> generateArrays(1)
> [[1]]
