Hey friends!

I hope you had a great week! I myself finally finished my LEGO Bugatti that I got ages ago. It's HUGE and I'm so happy with it! Anyway, onwards!

Something that interested me this week

This past week a feature I led at CodePen was finally released, a fully responsive editor!
Before, the mobile editor was a completely separate section of the codebase, and only had the ability to toggle between code panels and zoom in and out. Now, the editor works at any size (wide, short, thin, and tall), and includes the same zoom ability, in addition to the console, the ability to share to different platforms, view and add comments, add to and create collections, and moooore. I'm super happy with the release, and I hope you check it out and enjoy!
 

Interview question of the week

Last week I had you make a "click outside detector" in whatever language you wanted. Rebecca wrote an awesome Android solution, and Stuart made a web one!

This week's question:
Write a function where given n, it returns the angles at each point of a star with n points.

Hint: The sum of the angles at each point of a 5 pointed star is 180 degrees, and at a 6 pointed is 360 degrees.

Joke

A horse walks into a bar.
"Hey," the bartender says.
"Sure," the horse replies.
 
That's all for now, folks! Have a good week. Be safe, make good choices, and don't pretend to like things you don't.
