Hey friends!

Wow, if I'm being honest, I totally and completely forgot to send a newsletter last week. Oops. I'm sorry about that! Hopefully it got you closer to inbox 0! Let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week

This week I've been prepping to go to Spain! I'm speaking at T3chfest this week about creative coding and making art with CSS, and I'm super pumped. It looks like I'm one of the few English speaking presenters at the event, so it might be a Spanglish talk. We'll see how it goes!

In other news, this past week we released a feature I worked really hard on at CodePen: a Babel 7 preprocessor! Under the hood there's a TON of changes, but the biggest user-facing one for you is that you can use a bunch of really great futuristic JavaScript features right out of the box. If you test it out, please share what you make, I'd love to see it!

Interview question of the week

Last time around I had you map digits on a dial pad to a string. Kyle and Stuart had great responses! It was a challenging question, kudos guys. :)

This week's question:
Given a 2D array, print out the elements of the array in a clockwise spiral starting from the top left.

Example:
arr =  [
[1, 2, 3, 4],
[5, 6, 7, 8],
[9, 10, 11, 12]

> printSpiral(arr)
> 1,2,3,4,8,12,11,10,9,5,6,7
