Something that interested me this week

This was a pretty busy week of podcast recordings and work! Because I was so busy, I had to be pretty dedicated to my tasks lists… and I ended up writing a blog post about exactly that! I’ve been using Obsidian, Centered, Cron, and todometer for pretty much everything lately, and I’m really loving this tool “stack” for getting things done.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you rotate Tetris blocks! This is a difficult one, great job Ten, Dan, Jonathan, and Rafael!

This week’s question:
Given a list of times in a 24-hour period, return the smallest interval between two times in the list. Hint: you can do this in O(n) time! Assume the list is unsorted.

Example:

$ smallestTimeInterval(['01:00', '08:15', '11:30', '13:45', '14:10', '20:05'])
$ '25 minutes'

Joke

I made myself a belt out of clocks and watches. It was a waist of time!

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and cancel your meetings that can be emails!
