Let's connect again on our frontend interview process. What works, what doesn't, and what can we do to help recruiting? What should we be looking for in new frontend hires?
Prioritization checkin
Notes
Isomorphic React
Static site generation not looking very good currently
Need to stand up a node server
Interested parties??
Devops will be involved to some degree
Marketing homepage first high-value page!
Distributing Code Reviews
Ari is a review bottleneck. How do we solve this?
Teams should be responsible for their own code reviews
Send out educational materials on how to learn React (etc)
Talk to team leads about getting people to learn stuff
State of Hiring
Are we equipped to take in extremely junior level FED candidates?
No
Full stack vs. FED
Dennis solution: simple coderpad during phone screen
5 mins, can you write a line of code?
Ask someone to reverse a string
This is a good quick low pass for phone interviews
Codepen vs. coderpad???
Current hiring repo is pretty out of date, might not be best place for frontend interview stuff anyway
