I&#8217;ve had a blast doing my own solution so it was fun to see how he approached the problem. I believe his solution is more elegant than mine but there&#8217;s a few places I think I did some cooler things so I&#8217;m very happy with how this all turned out.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t go through his code line by line, but rather gives us the big picture of his process. Most of the time he spent on the solution was actually in refactoring his code because he decided to preload the data rather than fetching it repeatedly on-demand. I loved it when he referred to his original work as \u201cOrganically-grown Weasley-kind of code\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also explains how he used both coercion and assertion to do his error handling and why. Eventually he got to start working on the grid and he walks us through how he cracked that problem. It was great fun as always and we have a new, six-week challenge to build a world clock.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Programming By Stealth in your podcatcher of choice, or you can always listen over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/ccatp-630\/\">Podfeet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Blog Posts<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/ces-2020-fasetto-forum-presentation\/\">CES 2020: Fasetto Forum In-Person Presentation Solution<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/ces-2020-neofect-gamifying-rehabilitation\/\">CES 2020: Neofect &#8211; Gamifying Lower Extremity and Fine Motor Rehabilitation<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/tesla-tech-unexpected-surprises\/\">Tesla Tech \u2014 Unexpected Surprises<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/ces-2020-ring-smart-lighting\/\">CES 2020: Ring Smart Lighting Solutions<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/ces-2020-barnacle-boat-security\/\">CES 2020: Barnacle Systems Boat Security and Monitoring<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/memoji-live-show\/\">Memoji for the Live Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<h3>Support the Show<\/h3>\n<p>I know that times are really truly tough for people right now, so I&#8217;m definitely not going to ask you to pledge to Patreon to support the shows. Instead, I&#8217;d like to plead with you to discontinue your pledge for now if you&#8217;ve lost your job or your hours have been cut back, or your partner is under financial stress.  If in any way you&#8217;ve been affected by the awfulness of our world right now, don&#8217;t waste a moment worrying about whether to cut back on supporting the shows. We will be <em>fine<\/em> and we don&#8217;t <em>need<\/em> to have the shows paid for.
