Frontend Technical Interview Prep

EDIT: Well this has been linked now so just an FYI this is still TBD. Feel free to comment if you have suggestions for improvements. Also here is an unrolled Twitter thread of a lot of the tips I talk about on here.

I've been doing frontend for a while now and one thing that really gripes me is the interview. I think the breadth of knowledge of a "Frontend Engineer" has been so poorly defined that people really just expected you to know everything. Many companies have made this a hybrid role. The Web is massive and there are many MANY things to know. Some of these things are just facts that you learn and others are things you really have to understand.

Every time I interview, I go over the same stuff. I wanted to create a gist of the TL;DR things that would jog my memory and hopefully yours too.

Lots of these things are real things I've been asked that caught me off guard. It's nice to have something you ca

macOS 10.13 High Sierra Mostly-Automated Setup

An easy to refer to document for regularly setting up macOS 10.13 High Siera, in flavor of my previous macOS/OSX setup gists:

• macOS 10.12 Sierra - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/7a152c556a83b322e0a8cd2df128235c
• Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/e12aa642a8388baf2499
• Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/0726211d17020a6abc1f

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.

Redux containers: mapDispatchToProps

This document details some tips and tricks for creating redux containers. Specifically, this document is looking at the mapDispatchToProps argument of the connect function from [react-redux][react-redux]. There are many ways to write the same thing in redux. This gist covers the various forms that mapDispatchToProps can take.

Generally one implements notifications by listening for events on specific models but if one wishes to have a single global message interchange, it could be done as follows:

var pubsub = new Backbone.Model;

View1 = Backbone.View.extend({
  initialize: function(){
    pubsub.bind('custom event', callback);
  }
 // ...

// connect() is a function that injects Redux-related props into your component.
// You can inject data and callbacks that change that data by dispatching actions.
function connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) {
  // It lets us inject component as the last step so people can use it as a decorator.
  // Generally you don't need to worry about it.
