Hi buddy.

Wow, we've come so far. April 14. 4/14. A month after Pi Day. Also the 189th anniversary of Webster's Dictionary, fun fact.

Let's do this.
 

Web links of the week

So what’s this GraphQL thing I keep hearing about?
The crazy awesome ThreeJS work of Jackson A. Joseph
vms: A Vue.js 2.0 Content Management System
npm and the front end (or the virtue of breakfast metaphors)
Haul: A command-line tool for creating React Native apps
 

Something that interested me this week

This week I've been consumed with video game music (I'm playing in a concert this weekend where we're performing some).  I ended up finding a whole community for it, and some interesting interviews.  Of the modern games coming out recently, my absolute favorite soundtrack is for Last of Us.  Highly recommend the game, and the music is incredible.  Here's a cool video I found of the "behind-the-scenes" of the making of that soundtrack. :)
 

Interview question of the week

This week's question:
Write a function that takes in two strings and returns true if they are anagrams.

Jokes

My coworker told me this one and I love it:

A cannibal's cellmate went missing, and he told the warden that he ate him.
The warden didn't believe him, so the cannibal finally threw up his hands out of frustration.
 

Doopity doo, we are through!
Thanks for reading. Have a delightful weekend.
For those who celebrate Easter, have a very Happy Easter, and for those who celebrate Passover, Pesach Sameach. :)
