You can't be serious. I save someone a million dollars a year knowing how to properly index and query DynamoDB, not about what <doctype HTML> means or whatever.

You can't be serious. I save someone a million dollars a year knowing how to properly index and query DynamoDB, not about what <doctype HTML> means or whatever. Or when preflight requests in CORS are too expensive to be worth the overhead vs alternatives. Or the advantages and disadvantages of a REST API following jsonapi.org vs GraphQL.
Nobody cares about text-size-adjust and other such nonsense. It doesn't materially change anything.
- onion2k 5y agoI save someone a million dollars a year knowing how to properly index and query DynamoDB, not about what <doctype HTML> means or whatever. If someone said that to me in an interview my next question would be "Why did you apply for a senior frontend dev role then?" Nobody cares about text-size-adjust and other such nonsense. Senuor frontend devs do care about that, because it affects the display quality, accessibility, and readability of a web app on a mobile device. If you get text size wrong on a site like Amazon or Twitter you could push tens of thousands of people to stop engaging with the site. Imagine if the "Buy Now" text on a button overflowed because the font was too big so it read "Buy no" instead. That would have an impact on revenue.
- lenkite 5y agoI think this is just one of the many questions. No body is expecting the interviewer to spend hours quizzing you on twitters HTML. But a 5 to 10min discussion on HTML tags and their applicability seems right for a web-developer interview. If nothing else, it shows that the candidate knows tags other than `div`, `span`, `form` and `style`.
