Something that interested me this week

This week was a BUSY one, but really fun! I launched some things, announced some things, and did a bunch:

• We announced the Devs for Ukraine conference and raised over $50,000 in one week!
• I joined OSS Capital as a Portfolio Partner for Developer Experience!
• I hosted the engineering track at Remote Connect (look for "Source Code" under Expert Sessions to see the talks!)
• I recorded a couple episodes of the Stack Overflow podcast (as well as a secret show... details will come later)
• I wrote a blog post about CSS ::marker
• I wrote another blog post about pesky line breaks in strings in Vue and React
• I wrote yet another blog post about being available as a key to leadership
• I shipped a new marketing site for one of my side projects
• I played way too much Tetris

It was hectic, but fun, and I'm going to be sleeping in more this week.

(Also, I closed the raffle for last week's anniversary issue, winners will be notified this week!)

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you compare some strings with special characters. Great job Giovanni, Alex, Leyan, Ten, Amine, Ben, Steven, Julian, Andrew, Tabrun, Rafael, Joseph, Mark, Gülşah, Don, and Giancarlo!

This week's question:
Given an integer n representing the number of sides of a regular polygon, return the measure of each interior angle. Bonus points: implement some of the other functions listed in the linked Wikipedia page!

Example:

$ interiorAngleSize(3)
$ 60 // Each angle in a triangle that is a regular polygon is 60 degrees

$ interiorAngleSize(8)
$ 135
