Something that interested me this week

This week felt like a catch-up week for me! I've seen a ton of family, traveled, and ran my first Process Over Goals workshop! The workshop went super well, and I'm really excited to teach more of them (there's some sign-up links on that website there, and more dates coming soon)!

I'm in a state where I have so many projects I want to do, but so little time. The classic conundrum. I'm hoping to finish this "catch-up" period and be patient with myself before moving onto the next thing... as I renew more unused domain names.

Anyway, for the 7th (!) newsletter anniversary raffle last week, winners will be pinged this week! Thanks for entering, y'all!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you roll some dice to meet a sum! Great work Arban, Amine, John, Saad, Pozorvlak, Dan, Ten, Kyle, Alison, The Math Jester, and Nathael!

This week's question:
Given a string str, write a function to determine the longest substring containing only two unique characters.

Example:

> uniqueSubstr('eceba')
> 3 // "ece"

> uniqueSubstr('ccaabbb')
> 5 // "aabbb"

> uniqueSubstr('abcabcabc')
> 2 // "ab", "bc", or "ca"

Joke

Why did the person cover their suit with knives before the fancy event?
Because they wanted to look sharp!

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