Something that interested me this week

This week I was on the PodRocket podcast talking about CSS, Bun, and some fun hot takes!

I also took my Thirteen Potions game that I made a few weeks ago and added it to Itch.io for the first time! It's not that big a deal, but I've always wanted to put a game in a marketplace, so I'm happy with it.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find Pokémon strengths and weaknesses from an API. You caught 'em all, Neil, 413, Rincon, Francisco, Charles, Miguel, Ten, Dan, Martin, Don, Divine, Christian, Karthick, Sean, Frances, Augustin, Clifford, Usman, Josh!

This week's question:
Given two integers source and target, add operators in the source number to make it equal target, if possible. You can return just one, or all possibilities for this!

Example:

> addOperators(123, 6)
> ["1*2*3", "1+2+3"]

> addOperators(3456237490, 9191)
> [] // none possible

Joke

When my husband told me to stop impersonating a flamingo, I had to put my foot down.

That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and make a checklist!
