5. What is prototype?
6. What is encapsulation?
7. Can you draw an algorithm?
After you're hired:
1. Hey, can you add auth token and login to our app?11 -
Seems to me that shitty youtube shorts "explaining" basic programming concepts via shitty JavaScript snippets.
Yesterday I've seen dude basically badly explain/demonstrate currying, on such a contrived example that it didn't explain WHY would you ever want to use it, and apparently without being aware that's what it's called, and using like 5 nested/chained ternaries.7 -
Today, I used a curry function for the first time outside the context of a classroom/assignment, to solve a real-world problem. boy do I love functional programming.

Sometimes I think that TypeScript is like a poor developer's Haskell. I thought "Isn't this supposed to support functional programming?" and searched for a way to do currying or partial application, and only found hackish solutions :/ Then again, maybe I don't know Haskell well enough to make a proper judgment.1
