Something that interested me this week

I made some slight styling changes to my personal website and blog this week! It was nothing major beyond some font changes and how colors work, but I'm happy with how they turned out. I actually wrote a little blog post on some of my CSS adventures in cleaning things up! I'll probably write more, but long story short: the words are bigger, the links are easier to see, and it's all a bit more mobile-friendly, too.

Sponsor

This week's sponsor is Brainstory! Brainstory is a collaborative AI tool to help you think through ideas.

It's not generative AI—it's iterative AI. Brainstory helps you verbally talk out what you're thinking, whether it's a conference talk, a blog post, a bug in your code, a company memo, a character sheet, a side project... anything you need. Then, it makes it easy for anyone to walkthrough your thoughts and give you pointed feedback. Everyone gets to think smarter, not harder.

Give Brainstory a try for free at brainstory.ai!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you organize a task list! Great job Kirill, Chetan, Saad, Martin, 413, Miguel, Anirban, Karthick, Chase, Neil, and Ten!

This week's question:
Given a start number a, an ending number b, and a string str that can be "odd", "even", or "prime", return all of the numbers that are odd, even, or prime between a and b. a will not always necessarily be less than b!

Example:

> betweenNums(3, 11, 'even')
> [4,6,8,10]

> betweenNums(15, 1, 'prime')
> [2,3,5,7,11,13]
