The other thing I find odd is why employers care that someone has deep and existential knowledge of JS? Who cares? I would probably object to any of my devs moving into JS weirdness unless it was totally necessary. You want simple, clean and readable solutions to business (or technical) problems, not something fancy pants. Every bit of oddity / less common stuff introduced just increases risk.

They are probably just bad interviewers, or the company really doesn't know what it wants. Esoteric knowledge questions are a warning signal that you probably don't want to work there.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoMost companies, even the best do this. As for TS I'm thinking interfaces, generics etc.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoI wish! Wouldn't that make the interview much easier. Nope, instead they ask you to whiteboard up some code (in whatever language you want) and discuss how you would design something you never saw before.
