Something that interested me this week

This week I published a couple blog posts (one on protecting yourself from burnout and one about passing markdown components to React or Preact in Astro), as well as the latest episode of The Dev Morning Show (at night), this week featuring Taylor Poindexter!

…I also played a lot of Civilization VI. I love that game.

Sponsor

What? 24 hours of free technical sessions? Yup. Don’t miss NODES 2022, Neo4j’s free online developer conference with 100+ speakers and spanning three time zones.

There’s a wide variety of knowledge graph use cases for you to consider. You’ll find graphs to make sense of geospatial data and graphs to track stem cell data; KGs for finding crooks, cures for diseases or characters in stories. Look for tips to improve your machine learning accuracy, your ontologies and cloud integrations.

There’s a track for beginners, so if you’re looking to break into the world of linked, semantic metadata, this is your chance. The conference will be free and live, with Q&A, without repeats over the course of the entire 24 hours. Register now!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you print a balanced binary tree! This was tough, great job Jon, Amine, Max, Saad, Ten, and Stefan!

This week’s question:
Print the ASCII printable characters code page (0x20-0x7E), without any built-ins or functions that do it for you.

Characters to be printed:

Joke

I’d tell y’all a penguin joke… but it wouldn’t fly.

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