As if microsoft ever tries to repro anything… Just refer them to some of the most clunkiest and convoluted sites ever, where it should say to just reboot three times and hope for the best.

In js there’s reduce. Something like

arr.reduce((result, currentValue, currentIndex, original) => {
if(currentIndex < original.length - 2
    && original[currentIndendex + 2] % 2 === 0 ) {
    result.push(currentValue / 2) 
} else { 
    result.push(currentValue);
}
return result;
}, []) 

This would map arr and return halved values for elements for which the element two steps ahead is even. This should be available in languages where map is present. And sorry for possible typos, writing this on mobile.

Hot take #2: Unless you have great code review culture, code rewiews are just unnecessary blockers

While I think everyone can eventually learn, I know a few smart people for whom it just doesn’t click. Like, people who are great at math but get confused by simple concepts like variables and pointers. I know for me there are some topics that I just don’t get myself and unable to make a first move. Like woodworking, how would I even approach something like building a chair? I have no idea even though I’ve read and watched a few guides, just got a myriad of dumb questions instead.

The real hot take: Spaces are better than tabs. Fight me
