It's funny because in a different context, that's exactly a sequence of questions that I as an engineer would ask:
> Do you have experience with React?
> Okay, do you have experience writing pure, vanilla JavaScript? Absent a framework like jQuery or Backbone or Angular?
The second question can often screen out people who simply maintain framework apps rather than those who actually know JS.
- nulagrithom 9y agoAre you assuming that people who haven't maintained a vanilla JS app don't actually know JS?
- beager 9y agoNot at all. I'm getting at the fact that many frontend devs don't know JavaScript, they just know cut-and-paste jQuery or how to fiddle with/maintain React/Angular components in a large app.
- John23832 9y agoExactly. A nuanced question like that is beneficial... but it has to be clear that there is that nuance.
