Something that interested me this week

Phew, it was a busy week! Our Devs For Ukraine event raised over $100k to help Ukraine! The talks were genuinely incredible, you should check them out.

After the conference, I admit I spent a lot of the rest of the week just catching up on emails and decompressing. I started reading the Mistborn series, and I’m loving it so far!

Also! I will be speaking (virtually) at All Day Hey! 2022 this week! If you’d like to get tickets, use code CASSIDYSDAYOUT for 10% off! It should be a blast and it’s available both in person and online.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you merge intervals together. This was a sneakily tricky one! Great job Will, Andrew, Jonathan, Leyan, Les, Rafael, Tyson, Dan, Divyansh, Gülşah, Amine, Thierry, Don, Steven, Claude, Ten, Conor, and Giancarlo!

This week’s question:
Implement a simple version of autocomplete, where given an input string s and a dictionary of words dict, return the word(s) in dict that partially match s (or an empty string if nothing matches).

Example:

let dict = ['apple', 'banana', 'cranberry', 'strawberry']

$ simpleAutocomplete('app')
$ ['apple']

$ simpleAutocomplete('berry')
$ ['cranberry', 'strawberry']

$ simpleAutocomplete('fart')
$ []

Joke

Someone asked, “Whose car is this? Where are you headed? What do you do?”
The miner replied, “Mine.”

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and when a baby waves at you, wave back!
