🔢 Quick tip: if you're sorting an array in JS and keep forgetting how to write the compare functions (like I do), here's a mnemonic device:
(a, z) => a - z // ascending, like "a to z"
(a, z) => z - a // descending, like "z to a"
Hope this helps someone!
![let nums = [8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, 2, 4, 1]; // Ascending, like "a to z" nums.sort((a, z) => a - z); // Descending, like "z to a" nums.sort((a, z) => z - a); // ℹ️ Remember: array.sort() mutates the array!](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ee7yqz5X0AEHxiW.png?name=orig)

Accessibility tip: Use aria-current to style active links.
Benefits:
1. Screen reader users will get a friendly notification that the link is active.
2. Clarifies and simplifies testing (Can assert the aria-current attribute exists on active links)
Reaching out to my network @Saman27858105 is a student at @CoderAcademy_au, he’s also a refugee currently in dentition. I’m amazed at his tenacity, work ethic, and ability to learn in such difficult circumstances. He’s looking for a connections and a mentor, could anyone help?
Come work with me! It’ll be great 😊

With #Hacktoberfest coming up, I wanted to put out a quick thread to hopefully save someone the trouble of having to look up several things in order to successfully contribute to opensource for the first time!
The following thread will give you everything you need to start!
👇
Yesterday was my one year anniversary working at @CoderAcademy_au, and it’s been as transformative working there as it was studying there. I’ve never felt as valued, supported, and encouraged in a work place! Looking forward to my next chapter teaching in Melbourne!
This is the wildest ride

I’m really enjoying creating content for @CoderAcademy_au but I still can’t get used to seeing myself as a floating head
