How often do you write the html params and meta tags? I really don’t care if someone memorized all the meta tags. What matters to me is that if I ask them to write a template they can find out what they need to include according to the latest best practices and our situation. I rather have them looking it up than relying on something they memorized years ago and might be outdated. Looking things up is not the same as carelessly assembling as you describe it. It’s the ability to gather knowledge quickly, learn on the spot, so they can work on things they haven’t worked on before, and keep up with the latest best practices. Absolutely essential to FE development. And some of it is assembling and relying on tools to work efficiently; for example I would highly recommend to generate Favicon and tile tags. To be an effective fe dev require tons of learning on the job and doing your research as new things arrive constantly, best practices change, and you will encounter many things you haven’t before. Like I said; experience and breadth of knowledge is an interesting indicator, but it doesn’t make much sense to me to have it as the main indicator. > Imagine the guy saying "I don't know, I never memorize this stuff". Then I would ask them to look it up and get an impression of their ability to gather quality knowledge and understanding. Not a problem to me, and I would appreciate the opportunity to gain insight in those skills.
