Personally I would reply that I'm an application developer and none of those questions are related to my job. 'this' refers to the object, I don't give a shit how it works. From their questions, I would say they're searching for a low-level library developer with a strong background in mathematics.
- ludwigvan 15y ago>> " 'this' refers to the object, I don't give a shit how it works." Well, it is quite important knowing how `this` works in JavaScript. See: http://www.digital-web.com/articles/scope_in_javascript/ http://www.digital-web.com/articles/scope_in_javascript/
- ntkachov 15y agoAlso its really important to know how float works in javascript. because 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 in Javascript. I don't know why "application developer" == "Don't have to know how the thing I'm using works" Quite frankly I can never get away from knowing how the thing I'm using works. My greatest wish is that in 2050 we will create a computer language that has no performance penalties and all the JITers/vms/compilers are invisible to me. Until then I'm forced to learn all the inner workings of my languages if I want them to run reasonably.
