After interviewing tens of candidates, finally found that one guy who doesn't start the conversation by mentioning jQuery 😂

Too many people started off with jQuery and didn't even bother to learn more about Javascript itself.

I tried hands on jQuery but gave it up in few days, because I prefer mastering language than going remembering the whole library. Better Master Javascript. At the end, JS is what matters not any library written over it.

You can hire me now

@chiragiem36 Here's your contract.

Throw over me

My problem is that few tuts is in vanilla..

JQuery has had an impact on how JavaScript has grown over the years. It might have fallen to the way side now but it's far from redundant.

Still a lot of websites that use it in some form or another.

But yeah knowing how standard JS works is always going to be a great skill. But ES6 isn't supported on older browsers so some services don't have the luxury of using it.

Maybe this is more of a rant than a comment ^__^ but no programming skill is illrelvent.

jQuery is mostly used by front end dev

@chiragiem36 all right, can you start tomorrow morning?

Yeah ...Send me tickets

I don’t get the reliance on jQuery any more; looking at my team, they only use it for the convenience of
$(‘anything’), add/removeClass, and Ajax, you could literally wean people off it in an afternoon - with a good webpack setup you can use ES6 polyfilled down to IE8, once we dropped IE10 &< there was no looking back

var $ = (q) => document.querySelectorAll(q);

I despise jQuery. Always refuse to use it. But to be honest you really don't need it anymore. Also, just don't put it in your CV.

We're now looking for a new dev and a guy has NPM as a skill listed (beyond literally everything he's ever done a tutorial on)
