We are back with the weekly picks of the first week of February. This time again, there are a lot of JavaScript posts and a mix of React and Frontend in general.
To me, it seems like more of a year of JavaScript so far. The developer community at Daily just loves those articles. Let's see what's in the weekly picks this time. ⚡️
1️⃣ 11 Recommended Tools for Frontend Developers
In this post, Shaumik talks about 11 different types of tools that a frontend developer must-have. Although he shares his favorite ones in this article, he also discusses a few alternatives.

2️⃣ Escape the Pyramid of Doom
👨💻 A precise and useful read by gitconnected. In this post, Eduardo effectively explain what is Pyramid of Doom and how we can avoid it. He provides an example of the Pyramid of Doom and then suggests some refactors to elaborate on how to avoid it.
3️⃣ A very famous Javascript interview question
Another small yet interesting post from gitconnected. In this post, Yogesh explains a very famous JavaScript interview question and discusses possible solutions to it. It asks you to define a product function which can be invoked in the following ways:
product(4,5); // 20
product(4)(5); // 20
So, if you are a JS dev, definitely check it out.
4️⃣ A JavaScript interview question asked at Google
Another interesting JavaScript question that was asked at Google. The question is described as:
Write a class,
EventEmitterthat has three methods:on,emit, andremoveListener.
on("eventName", callbackFn)- a function that takes an eventName and a callbackFn, should save the callbackFn to be called when the event with eventName is emitted.emit("eventName", data)- a function that takes an eventName and data object, should call the callbackFns associated with that event and pass them the data object.removeListener("eventName", callbackFn)- a function that takes eventName and callbackFn, should remove that callbackFn from the event.
Following the question, the author discusses the solution to this question. If you are curious to know or want to discuss the solution, feel free to check out the post and join the discussion in the comments.
