Hello friends!

I hope you've had a great week! My friends and I went to a pumpkin patch/corn maze this past weekend, which was a pretty fun time. Onwards!

Something that interested me this week

I have a ton of workshops coming up for work as we kick off the React Training fall tour! I'm currently on the east coast about to do my last training of October before the November tour begins. Teaching has been really fun, which I can say with confidence now that I have a few workshops under my belt! I really enjoy seeing people get those "ah ha" moments as they understand new things.

With this gig, I've had a lot of time to code on side projects to practice concepts that I'm teaching (and come up with answers to issues that students might run into over time). I finally have a little GitHub streak, which I haven't had in a while! Well, I should say, I did have a streak, but then this weekend I took a little coding break and played Minecraft with my Patreon group instead. :)
 

Interview question of the week

We had a ton of responses last week! I had you find the length of the longest increasing subsequence. Sreetam, Gabriel, Stuart, Lauren, Daniel, Sabique, Matt, Ilya, Andrew, uzepar, and Steven did a great job in various languages!

This week's question:
Given a list of ordered integers with some of the numbers missing (and with possible duplicates), find the missing numbers.

Example:
> missingInts([1, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6])
> 2, 4

> missingInts([1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 7, 7])
> 5, 6

Joke

My friends say I'm the cheapest person they've ever met, but I'm not buying it!
 
That's all for now, folks!
