Been reading an Elisp introduction and just noticed double spaces between sentences. Turns out, back in the typewriter days, writers used double spaces to improve readability with monospaced fonts.
I always pictured @nikitonsky as that guy in a hood 👆. Who just makes great stuff and is not even bothering with planning, GTD, personal optimization, and such things. Am I right?
@Waterplea Haha, I have exact opposite stereotype in my mind. How is it possible to be UI developer and bear with seeing Android (material) UI every day?
Another nice interview was with @evilmartians. They do async interviews so you don't have to plan all those interview calls. Also, @sitnikcode provides a thorough review so that some developers can use it as a learning plan.
Frontend job interviews are broken.
Over the last six years, I've gone through dozens of interviews. Most interviewers asked me those "tricky javascript" questions that every junior can learn in a week. Only a few asked me to solve real UI problems.
One example of the interview that I liked.
Once I was asked to implement an ATM emulator as a JS app. It showed my basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, understanding routing and state management, and I even had to reread what dynamic programming is to solve the knapsack problem.
