Interviewing for a Webdev Job in 2020

In this episode we talk to Paulo Elias, formerly from IDEO, about his experiences interviewing for a frontend web development position in 2020.

We talk about the interview process, and how much of the focus is on JavaScript, with CSS and HTML as almost an afterthought.

Is this just a thing inside the bubble that is Silicon Valley, or is it a broader shift in the craft of modern web development?

We go on to talk about some of the specific questions asked, the focus on algorithms and problem solving, and how getting good at interviewing is a skill in and of itself.
