A couple of years ago, I would have answered the same way. Now, at least in the SF Valley area, these types of things are largely ignored and instead we're asking a lot more CS questions (algorithms, data structures, design patterns, etc). In fact, I'd say about 99% of interviews for a front-end position don't ask ANY CSS questions at all - they're all JS-based.
For example, in a recent string of interviewing here for a couple of large SF-based companies and startups, I've encountered questions like re-implementing jQuery, doing the JS for the game Snake, palindrome checkers, longest chain of ascending numbers in an array, shortest path, matching node (given a node in one tree, find the same node in an identical tree), and basically a whole bunch of other questions where only JS skill were assessed.
- andy_ppp 10y agoIf people want to ask computer science question that's great but I'm not going to learn how to balance a binary tree (again) I'm going to get them to teach it to me in the interview by asking the right questions. If they can't see that I'm smart enough to pick new things up quickly I'll probably be trapped doing the same thing for them forever so I'd rather not work there :^)
