Hey friends!

Happy November! I hope you had a great week. I'm halfway through a big traveling stint as we kick off the React Training fall tour this week!

Something that interested me this week

For Halloween this past week I made a fun lil CSS joke on Twitter! Because of traveling I didn't have much of a chance to dress up, but humor makes up for that, right? :)
 

Interview question of the week

This past week we had a TON of responses to the missing integers problem! Nice work Laurent, Gabriela, Amanda, Ilya, Gabriel, Thomas, Matthew, Jenny, Garth, Adam, Will, Mustafa, Endy, Ellie, Nikita, Ethan, Arkady, Kyle, and Ryan!

Here's a harder one for you this week:
Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum. The path can start and end at any node in the tree.

Example:
I drew a diagram of a tree here for an easy visual!
For this tree, maxPathSum would return 43 (the result of the path 20 + 3 + 10 + 10).
 

Cool things from around the internet

Joke

Doctor: "Ma'am, I'm afraid your DNA is backwards."
Me: "And?"
 
That's all for now, folks!
