you used to know this stuff. let's keep it that way.

a 4-minute daily quiz on your stack, what changed in your ecosystem this week, and your own code. for developers who ship with AI but still want to know what the code does.

today.drop — unprompted #160

what does this print?

line 3: const ids = [10, 1, 3]
line 4: ids.sort()
line 5: console.log(ids)
  • 1[1, 3, 10]
  • ✓[1, 10, 3]
  • 3[10, 3, 1]
  • 4TypeError

default sort compares strings: "10" < "3". pass (a, b) => a - b.

core

fundamentals at your level

syntax, semantics, complexity, debugging instincts — the stuff autocomplete quietly takes over.

changelog

what changed, and why

from real release notes. never "which version shipped tuesday" — always "what does this replace?"

repo

your own code

questions about the PRs you (and your agents) merged. private, never ranked.

// why: in Anthropic's 2026 randomized study of developers learning a new Python library, people who delegated to AI scored lower on a follow-up comprehension quiz — the biggest gap was debugging — while people who used AI to ask conceptual questions kept their learning. read the study. unprompted is the daily rep that keeps you in the second group.
