rendezvous with cassidoo

Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week. I got back home from Dublin after a long trip away, and I'm glad to be here for a little bit before traveling again. Anyway, onwards!

Something that interested me this week

This week has been a strange one. I had a long flight home, and returned back to the US (Seattle, specifically), where the response to the coronavirus has been a weird combination of "don't worry about it, just be clean," and, "everyone has to work from home until the end of March." I'm not sure what to expect in the coming months, but I hope y'all stay clean and healthy!

That being said, because I work for a company that does workshops, you can imagine that a lot of our events are also being postponed. If your company is wanting to take advantage of this period of working remotely, let me know and we can schedule a remote React workshop for your team!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you make a way to represent numbers (check out the archive for details on the question). This was a tougher one, great job Tan, Stuart, Ten, Dimitris, and Leslie!

This week's question:
Given an array of unsorted integers, return the mean, median, and mode.

Cool things from around the internet

Geometry Club (thanks for sharing, Dave!)
How to deal with difficult people on software projects (thanks for sharing, Tom!)
Capitol Hill's mystery soda machine
SA Laser on custom built TKL

Joke

A thief was arrested for stealing fancy perfume.
It was a fragrant violation of the law.
That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and stay healthy!
