Haha what? You absolutely do not need to understand how a CPU works to make a fast site. 90% of the job is getting rid of shitty third party ad and tracking code, something most front engineers don't control. Beyond that most is just sensible practices.
In depth knowledge of the DOM would serve you a lot better than knowing about CPUs. What triggers a repaint, how you can avoid it, and so on.
- hnuser355 8y agoWe were looking for someone to do basic web dev for us, but when our leading candidate failed to even derive KKT conditions from scratch in our interview we simply had to eject him from the candidate pool
- freedomben 8y agoDid you find someone? "basic web dev" and "derive KKT conditions from scratch" do not sound like combinations that I would expect to find often, but it's always interesting to hear about different industries/expectations out there.

- freedomben 8y agoOh haha, it was an excellent joke then cause I lol'ed :-D
