It's time to chow down. On some knowledge. And humor.
Yes, you made it another week. Glad to see you're back.
Let's explore the internet together.

Something that interested me this week
Because I'm speaking at Twilio SIGNAL next week, I've been practicing my Vue.js skills a ton so I can live-code as much of my talk as possible. Normally I'm definitely more of a React fan, but as I've gotten more and more used to Vue, I think it's becoming my new favorite. And not for how the code is structured and organized or anything in that realm, but because of the set-up and the errors it throws by default. I was able to make a fully functional single page application that calls an API and with multiple routes in less than a half hour. Setting up the app itself took less than 5 minutes, and even though I wasn't super familiar with the framework before getting started, I was able to navigate my way through the structure with ease based on the set-up templates and the errors thrown when I wrote something incorrectly. The fact that I didn't have to look at documentation at all (besides which npm command I should type to install the framework) to have a fully functional application is INCREDIBLE. Kudos to the team working on Vue, and for those out there looking for a side project, I highly recommend trying your hand at it. :)
Interview question of the week
Implement a function rotateArray(int[] arr, n) which rotates an array by n places.
Example: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] rotated by 2 gives [4, 5, 1, 2, 3].
