🚸 "To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day." - Lao Tzu

Hey friends!

I hope you had a good week! Mine was PACKED, I spoke at an event every day this past week and as you can imagine, this weekend was me mostly sitting silently in the aftermath. It was really fun though. Anyway, let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week

Phew, it was a very busy week! I spoke at GitHub Universe, Reactathon, Treehouse Festival, and live on JavaScript.com for JavaScript's 25th birthday, in addition to my regular streaming schedule. My voice is still recovering, but it was fun getting to interact with so many developers!

I've also been keeping up with Blogvent (blogging everyday)! Here's the posts I've done since the last issue:

• Absolute Imports in Next.js
• Making a custom 404 page in Next.js
• Global styles in Next.js
• Environment variables in Next.js
• React Strict Mode in Next.js
• Deploy from CodePen to Netlify in less than 30 seconds
• Logging in Next.js

And, of course, I'd appreciate any and all love on dev.to for these as well!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return the product of strings of numbers. It was a funky one, great job Gabor, Ivana, Ephraim, Jonathan, Dimitris, Aleksander, Elliot, Leslie, Jay, Rafael, Mickael, David, Namrata, Ten, and Prakash!

This week's question:
Given a list of folders in a filesystem and the name of a folder to remove, return the new list of folders after removal.

Examples:

$ removeFolder(["/a","/a/b","/c/d","/c/d/e","/c/f", "/c/f/g"], 'c')
$ ["/a","/a/b"]

$ removeFolder(["/a","/a/b","/c/d","/c/d/e","/c/f", "/c/f/g"], 'd')
$ ["/a","/a/b","/c","/c/f", "/c/f/g"]

Joke

Why don't folks sympathize when your books drop to the floor?
Because you only have your shelf to blame!

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