If you could explain or show how you connected VS code to act as the debugger for Chrome I would let you and you could use VS code instead. I would also be impressed. I didn't mean to imply they had to use Chrome.

Not so much debugging. Same create-react-app setup, but increment a counter on a button press. The solution is to add an event handler (which requires binding or an arrow function for the right context), and increment a state variable. That

I don't hold off important info. I mean, I won't give the answer but I encourage dialog. And your console.log example is valid, but this isn't the same situation. It's a button press, the fetch call is made. I tell them

I do. I just verify. They can also use Firefox or any other browser's tools if they are more comfortable. We are not hiring junior devs, and even if so I would still probably ask. But experienced front end devs should know how to use a

Those are all good ideas, thanks! I made it super easy, it's an invalid URL. Everything else is setup, but having a few more non-required steps would allow me to be more granular between two otherwise good candidates.

I implemented two simple interview tests in order to weed out people who can't do simple debugging. In one, I hand them my laptop and give them a basic create-react-app sample that uses fetch on a remote URL, but there's a typo in

I can concur with the breaking changes point. That and unmaintained libraries. It seems after a certain size you need to devote 10% of your time to just trying to keep libraries up to date security wise. And then libraries get abandoned. &q

It's so misleading. Dial-up/DSL have been under Title II/common carrier rules from 1980 up until 2005! So it's a lie to claim that this is all "recent changes".

If ISPs want to charge by the byte, that's fine. What they want though, is to charge data coming in, and data going out.

I find that hard to believe. In the US you can't market yourself as an electrician/handyman unless you are licensed. But you can fix you or your neighbors outlets all you want. The distinction is drawn at being a business vs yours

I've had jobs like that. Watching videos and consuming content gets old fast. Then I started learning other languages, contributing to OSS, working on my own project, etc. Riskier than watching videos, though.
