Something that interested me this week

I finished reading the book Tress of the Emerald Sea this week! It was really fun, I enjoyed it. Outside of that, I did my first work trip in a while, which was a bit overwhelming, but productive!

I also started some work on a workshop series that I've been noodling on for a while, that I'm going to be calling "Process Over Goals" (with the intention to help you improve your processes to accomplish things, rather than getting stuck on goals that feel unattainable)! If you've got 1 minute, would you mind filling out this interest form, so I can develop the curriculum further?

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you make a honeycomb shape! This was very challenging (and based on a real interview question!) so major kudos to Leyan, Amine, Ten, and Neil who got it done!

This week's question:
Write a function that produces a generator that produces values in a range.

Example:

let range = fromTo(0,3)

> range()
0
> range()
1
> range()
2
> range()
null

(you can submit your answers by replying to this email with a link to your solution, or share on LinkedIn, Twitter, Mastodon, or Bluesky)
