Hey-yo friends,

I hope you have had a great week 💃. Phew, last week was quite fun. I traveled to my hometown and enjoyed yummy home-cooked food after a very long time.

Woo hoo! Let's boogie.

Updates.

• So far, I have achieved a streak of 30 days in my coding diary. And I don't have words to explain, how exciting & addicting it is. I solved some really good problems, asked in Google, Facebook. In case you are interested, it's here

• I started a new series "JavaScript one-liners" where I share, one JavaScript one-liner every day.

JavaScript One-liner #2 Generate Random String const randomId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); console.log(randomId) // any random string Homework: can it be used as a unique id? What is the possibility of the collision?

JavaScript One-liner #3 Extract query params from URL const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); #javascript
