Things I will follow if I hire any Front End Developer in 2024

If I hire for my company or any of my known person or his team this year, then the following requirements must be followed:

1. Design-Driven, Deeply Technical Talent:

I seek individuals who demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for web design and possess a robust understanding of front-end frameworks. Superficiality doesn't suffice; I value those who grasp the internal workings of browsers and their interactions with front-end development.

2. Beyond Boot Camps: Experience Matters:

While bootcamps can offer a starting point, I emphasize real-world experience and mastery over short-term training. I prioritize candidates who exhibit a solid understanding of JavaScript's core functionalities and principles.

3. Mastering React's Core and Hooks:

In-depth knowledge of React's core concepts and hooks is essential. While encyclopedic knowledge isn't necessary, I seek developers who demonstrate a profound understanding of these crucial elements.

4. Building Reusable Components and Library Awareness:

The ability to design reusable components and proficiency in contemporary JavaScript-based component libraries are highly desirable. This skill showcases foresight and an understanding of efficient development practices.

5. Client-Server Differentiation:

A clear understanding of the distinction between client-side and server-side development is crucial for effective collaboration and problem-solving within web applications.

6. Staying Ahead of the Curve: React Rendering Optimization:

Knowledge of React's re-rendering behavior and strategies for optimization showcases a commitment to best practices and performance improvement.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Skills and Future-Proof Development:

1. Progressive Web Apps: A Valuable Plus:

While not mandatory, expertise in Progressive Web Apps is a sought-after skill. In today's mobile-first environment, it gives us the flexibility to deliver enhanced user experiences across platforms.

2. React Native Mastery for Mobile Expansion:

Given the significant role React Native plays in contemporary mobile development, proficiency in this framework would be a major advantage. It signifies adaptability and expertise in building cross-platform mobile applications.
