Something that interested me this week

This week, as some of you might know, I spoke at Twilio SIGNAL!  I talked about how quick and easy Vue.js is and then live-coded up a NASA search engine Vue.js app.  The JSON parsing broke on stage (the joys of live-coding), but about a minute after going off I found the issue and pushed it online for ~the world~ to see.  Once done with my talk, the conference was really interesting and fun.  Twilio released a bunch of new products and really emphasized promoting diversity and inclusion in tech, and launched Hatch, an engineering apprenticeship program.  They had a big party at the end called $BASH that was full of games, puzzles, music, and lots of food.  After literally running to play and win games all night, I had enough points to win a Nintendo Switch, so I personally had a blast. ;)

Interview question of the week

Given a list of menu items and their prices, and the amount in your wallet, return all combinations of items that you can buy.

Example:

menu = { 'taco' : 1, 'burger' : 2, 'shawarma' : 3 }
wallet = 3
> combo(menu, wallet)
['taco', 'taco', 'taco']
['taco', 'burger']
['shawarma']
