Something that interested me this week

This week I got a lot done in preparation for some much needed time off! I recorded 5 podcasts (gee whiz) to close out 25 weeks STRAIGHT of podcast recordings (this was not intentional, it just happened that way), and also put together a short little blog post about architecting your own blogging platform. Now, I’m going to try and do nothing (except maybe read) for a couple weeks. We’ll see how that goes!

Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is Sourcegraph!

If you’ve ever felt caught in a vise between two pressures–the pressure to improve your codebase and the pressure to protect it–feeling, on the one hand, that you should rush code changes and feeling, on the other hand, that you should be wary and slow down, then you’ve experienced release anxiety. We’ve all been there. In this two-part series, we get into:

• The root causes of release anxiety and,
• How to shift to a scalable deployment model as a cure for release anxiety

Sourcegraph makes it easier to find and fix things across all of your code, faster. Onboard to a new codebase, make large-scale refactors, increase efficiency, address security risks, root-cause incidents, and more.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find local peaks in a set of numbers. Great work Leyan, Rizwan, Ten, Gabor, Will, Robin, Jesper, Dani, Topher, Claude, Md, Augustin, Ann, Jean-François, Rafael, Les, Amy, Snowie, and Zoe!

This week’s question is brought to you by Sourcegraph!:
Given 10 JavaScript files, write a regular expression script to search the code in all of these files for any private keys or things that look like tokens. The result should return the following: - The name of the file(s) - The line numbers of where the private keys or tokens start and end.

I used to run an origami business, but it folded.

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