Tomorrow I have to interview a job applicant about their React experience, and I'm looking at #React interview question guides.

They're bullshit, it's all absolutely bullshit. Most of it is just testing if someone knows the term for a particular pattern.

> What is the difference between a controlled and uncontrolled component

WHO CARES!? If you code it right it doesn't fucking matter!

> What is the VDOM?

Unless you are actually working in react internals, you don't need to know this.

Better question: What is the difference between a Component and an Element?

> What is Fiber?

Again, unless you're working in the internals, this is completely irrelevant.

Better question: How does the JSX that a component produces become content on the page?

> How do you implement Server Side Rendering or SSR?

Easy, you don't. Don't look up guides, don't try to figure it out yourself, there are so many gotchas that you will never be successful. React on the server is horrible. Yes, even in Next. Don't do it.

> How do you enable production mode in React?

This isn't a React question, it's a bundler question, which is something you do once per project and never touch again until it breaks. Why are we asking this?

@rick A few years ago I'd have agreed with that, I used to do a ton of tooling to enable css modules so that I didn't have to do css-in-js, but I've come to actually really like Emotion in the last two years. It's very powerful.

> What is a switching component?

Seriously? Why did we need a term for this? It's an if statement, for fucks sake.

> Why shouldn't you use prop spreading?

That's just, like, your opinion, man!

> What are the advantages of React?

Compared to what?

> What are the limitations of React?

This question is cursed.

@rick I've come up with a code review trial. It's a basic tabs switcher composed of two components. There's a little bit of advanced react engineering in it, in the way I've used the Children toolset.

The code works, but I have deliberately written it badly, there's just a TON of really bad practices in it and ways it can break super easily. I'm gonna ask him to point out what's wrong, and fix it.

@rick Yeah, there's a lot here I don't actually expect him to catch. That's why it'll be a fun exercise.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Deanna Tori had a perfect waist mainly because Marina Sirtis wore a corset.

It's me. I need to hear this.

I’ve never understood how this sort of thing happens. How does one guy in a gym shower signal to another guy in a gym shower, “hey, want me to give you a wank?” Is there some secret gay hand signal that everyone else is oblivious to?

This was a delightful read and has convinced me that Stationeers should add Bromine, just for the lols.

Our company provided a grant to a small business that is taking "a holistic approach to employee training".

I misheard it as "allistic approach" and went "THEY'RE DOING WHAT!?"

Where’s that one post about “people in tech have the weirdest computer problems” because I have a hell of a one to add to the list:

To turn my computer on, I have to unplug the power supply

@MrL314 @olivia is there a UPS between the computer and the wall? There shouldn’t be enough power stored in those capacitors to do that….

In any case, it’s definitely a ground fault somewhere.

According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

Looking for jobs right now is fucking wild, because all the tech jobs are hiring at the same salary as they were 13 years ago when I started working in software. This was back when the boring ass Oregon state jobs paid so little by comparison.

But Oregon state has tied their salaries to inflation and living wages and given cost of living adjustments (COLAs). So now, the boring ass state jobs pay more than the private company jobs.

The software industry laughs at COLAs, but we've been taking pay cuts every single year. If I'd just have stayed at DEQ working as a hydrologist, I'd be making considerable more than a senior software developer. That's wild.

@DivineKestrel I think occasionally about how studies keep finding that you need to be earning 200k+ to live comfortably in SoCal. I have only barely achieved that last year at the literal top of my career (Principal Software Engineer w/ 25 years experience) with all the privileges I have. Now the only option I have to make more is to move to an even larger company (which I’d hate), or become a manager (which I’d suck at)

Imagine being so “rich” you couldn’t have friends, or lovers or a family since the unnatural force of your wealth distorts all human relationships and interactions— turning kindness to suspected obsequiousness compliments to base spaniel fawning, love to a product worn for prestige— and the few who were not perturbed by the magnet of wealth come to hate you for all your suspicions.
