JS does something unexpected if you run sort on an array of numbers. Array#sort() casts the array elements to strings then compares based on their UTF-16 code units. In other words, it sorts alphabetically by the first character, then the second, etc.
Example code of the sort function being called on a JavaScript array containing the integers 1, 2, 3, 10, and 20. The result is an array with the numbers ordered as 1, 10, 2, 20, 30.

The solution is to always provide a compare function when sorting numeric arrays.
Sample JavaScript code of the sort method being called on an array with a compare function provided to sort numbers ascending.

So excited to be presenting on addressing code debt at #CONNECTRecharge in a few hours! Speaking at a conference has been a goal of mine for many years, and I have slowly been concurring my fear of public speaking working towards this point.

I discovered that @babeljs has a theme song the tune of Hallelujah and I am so here for it: youtube.com/watch?v=40abpedB… "Generators, const and let I used them all without regret And it’s a terse and a destructured Hallelujah"

Github1s is really nice. Just add "1s" after "github" when viewing code on github.com and VS Code loads up instantly:

One of the most surprising things to me from the #StateOfJS 2020 results is that 91% of the 23k respondents were MEN! Where are my fellow #WomenWhoCode at? 2020.stateofjs.com/en-US/dem…

Remember 1st grade and learning name calling is bad and to raise your hand before speaking? I think the presidential candidates could learn some things from grade schoolers. #PresidentialDebate #presidentaldebate2020

Jest’s dev docs uses La Croix in their examples. Evidence that this is a universal drink at engineering offices? 🙃 jestjs.io/docs/en/expect#toh…

Expect · Jest

When you're writing tests, you often need to check that values meet certain conditions. expect gives you access to a number of "matchers" that let you validate different things.

I love my new keyboard cover! I spend at least 40 hours a week looking at this laptop so I might as well make it uniquely mine.
