Something that interested me this week

This week was full of pre-recording talks, giving talks, and recording podcasts! Not all of them are out and public yet, but one recording is! Also, in case you missed it, I'm officially a semi-regular co-host of the Stack Overflow Podcast now. Feel free to check it out, it's so fun listening to all of the cool guests!

Here’s a puzzle: what do products like Dropbox, Slack, Zoom, and Asana all have in common? The answer is they all were successful because they became enterprise-ready.

Becoming enterprise-ready means adding security and compliance features required by enterprise IT admins. But enterprise features are super complex to build, with lots of weird edge cases, and they typically require months or years of your development time.

WorkOS is a developer platform to make your app enterprise-ready. With a few simple APIs, you can immediately add common enterprise features like Single Sign-On (check out the Developer’s Guide), SAML, SCIM user provisioning, and more. Developers will find beautiful docs and SDKs that make integration a breeze, kind like “Stripe for enterprise features.” Today WorkOS powers apps like Webflow, Hopin, Vercel, and more than 100 others.

So what are you waiting for? Integrate WorkOS today and make your app enterprise-ready.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you implement a Minesweeper grid! Awesome work Gabor, Michael, Alex, Nathan, Mark, Ten, Andrew, Tobias, Craig, Leyan, Jesper, Michael, Les, Andy, David, and Oana!

This week's question:
Given a string s, return the longest palindromic substring in s.

Example:

$ pSubstring('babad')
$ 'bab' // or 'aba'

Joke

I witnessed a murder in real life and didn't tell anyone about it.
Crows are common in my area so it wasn't a big deal.

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