How would you make a basic grid?
"html table or css grid"
Unless you were using it to display tabular data I wouldn't use
Assuming they'd be expected to know about the "virtual DOM", popularized by React and others, asking why the virtual DOM is needed and how it generally works high level.
Good one!
Thank you!!!
"Do you agree that React is massively overused and is basically like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut in most cases?"
Seems a bit leading, no?
😛 Certainly, but how they respond would reveal a lot
I loled xD
This gives us insight in how you handle challenges and if you can prioritise the features that bring value.
A lot of these are great but come from a line of 'traditional' / 'booksmart' thinking..
which is great for probing and making sure candidates have the knowledge behind knowing how to answer the question... but for a lot of these i'd accept an "i don't know, but i'd look at the API docs for this method/class and learn how to manipulate the js object or function to my need"
yakno? js evolves so quick; knowing the fundamentals of OOP + quick absorption of docs + knowing how to quickly iterate = a winner
OOP is mostly a disservice to producing quality code
What is the difference between the focus and the caret ?
(Actually I use that question when I am grilled by people who know a js framework very well, have very limited frontend knowledge and try to establish a position of dominance. )
Do you think that tools like Webpack, SASS or jQuery made us to use them even for a single landing page? And what would you do to avoid it?
