Discussion on: Frontend Interview Experience at Amazon Germany

More than that.

Lets take a simple example.

You are asked to create a simple button component in React.

You created a simple button component.

Now the interviews wants different variations of button. You update the code again.

Now the interviewer wants to add different states to button. On hover different color, On click different color, on once clicked different color. on double click different color.

Now the interviewer wants you to create a group of button that have array of functionality.

So as he is asking you to do things, you are updating the code. Your approach should be to clarify these questions in the beginning and then create the component.

Now look at a bigger picture.

Your asked to create a new web app that will go along with facebook.

How would you create it.

Will it be separate application or goes along with the existing (integratable, injectable).

You should develop it is a widget and micro-frontend approach. If it is not integrated with existing app, it should force authenticate, otherwise bypass.

These are the minute details they look.

There are various things around it and one should question it, that is what they are looking for.

Now the question is how is it scaling?.

It is scaling feature wise, not optimization or speed wise.

Hope you got it.
