Show Notes 04:17 - Code in general Clean, commented, organized Take the extra hour before an application and polish it 06:10 - JS Basics of the language - storing data in Arrays and Objects Looping and flow control Array methods Promises + async await DOM basics - select an element, listen for clicks, update elements Node basics Most of your JS basics apply here Read Files, write files Fetch data and return it 08:38 - CSS Attention to detail - pixel-perfect replication of designs Works well on mobile No reliance on libraries - complete reliance on Bootstrap or Tailwind is a red flag. If you use these things, explain clearly why they are useful to you (e.g. augment your skills, not relied on). 12:54 - Real-world libraries One of the following: React, Vue, Angular Node.js - sending Server data as a response JSON Express, Next.js Popular helper libs Date functions / Moment (Moment is old but its still 2x more popular) Lodash CSS Scoped CSS Pattern libraries 17:15 - What about data structures and algorithms? Yes you obviously need to know about arrays and objects - probably maps and sets too Links lists? Tree structures? Traversal? https://twitter.com/wesbos/status/1353729683486076930 20:26 - Soft skills Know how to talk to PMs and other devs. Know how to stay on top of timelines and schedules while communicating. You won’t last long in any work environment where you aren’t able to fit in. Many devs sometimes get a big head about doing tech - this is not something you want to emulate. Ignore any kind of internal “us vs them” attitude. It’s about the big picture and you’ll go further. Write good, short, emails that don’t sound like you are mad.
