Hey friends!
I hope you all had a great week! I did a bunch of laser-cutting this week, and I'm excited to go home to Chicago to see family for Christmas this week. Onwards!

Something that interested me this week
This week I worked a bunch on new curriculum for work! I’m really excited to show and teach it Soon™ once everything’s settled early in the new year. Teaching things definitely makes you learn much better. There are so many little nuances of React that I always just did without questioning it, and now that I have to explain the how AND the why certain things work, it’s a fun challenge.
My company also released an https://reacttraining.com/learn-hooks">online version of our React Hooks workshop (edited by yours truly) if you’d like to check it out! Go ahead and use code CASSIDOO for an extra discount.
Interview question of the week
Last week I had you write a binary sequence based on an input! Nice job Leslie, Ali, Gabor, Jesse, Tan, Krishna, Ten, Mohd, and Pierre!
This week's question:
Make the game Snake. Be as creative (or not) as you want!
