Hey friends!

I hope you had a good week! Mine was admittedly a little chaotic, but we got to see a bunch of friends as it snowed a bunch here in Chicago. Let’s read!

Something that interested me this week

I got very moody this week and talked about human curation on the internet, Jumblie’s 100th puzzle, and my feelings on React. Whew!

I also talked about finding Product Market Fit in startups! Of course the video comes out and then I find out I used the wrong microphone. Oh well, c’est la vie!



Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you print possible sequences of letters. Great work Miguel, Raymond, Saad, Ten, Felix, Tawseef, Sagnik, Amine, Yosola, Neil, Arban, and Muhammad!

This week’s question:
Given a 2D array, write a function that flips it vertically or horizontally.

Example:

let array = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]
]

> flip(array, 'horizontal')
> [[3,2,1],[6,5,4],[9,8,7]]

> flip(array, 'vertical')
> [[7,8,9],[4,5,6],[1,2,3]]

Joke

Did you know that Albert Einstein was a real person?? All this time I thought he was a theoretical physicist!


That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and eat your vegetables!
