Something that interested me this week

I spoke at The Merge in Berlin this past week! It was a really great time and I blogged about it here. I also spoke on The Last Tech Podcast!

In other news, my company has decided to open source Brainstory and we will be shutting it down (and thus our team is moving on, too, including me). I'm really bummed about this being an ending, but I'm happy about being able to open source it for people to mess with! I think it's still a great product, but it simply didn't make enough money to keep us around. It's bittersweet, but onwards and upwards!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find a sum of four numbers in an array. Awesome job Muhammad, Sean, Amine, Ricardo, Nikhil, Ten, John, and Vyaas!

This week's question:
Write a function that takes a list of names and returns the names sorted by the number of vowels in each name in descending order. If two names have the same number of vowels, sort them alphabetically.

Example:

> sortNames(["Goku", "Vegeta", "Piccolo", "Gohan"])
> ["Piccolo", "Vegeta", "Gohan", "Goku"]

> sortNames(["Edward", "Alphonse", "Roy", "Winry"])
> ["Alphonse", "Edward", "Roy", "Winry"]
