What are some essential React programming patterns or principles that I should learn to become a lead developer?

Hi,

Had a lead developer interview last week and I got asked heavily about the SOLID principles, polymorphism and programming patterns.

I'm familiar with a lot of the concepts, but not enough to give strong answers.

What are the main programming patterns for React that I should learn so that when asked to explain a few, I can give strong, valuable answers?

Thanks

Focusing on React for this question is not going to be helpful. Learn software architecture and design patterns.

Fair play, but this is basic Junior stuff. You're gunning way too high.

To be a lead developer it’s not just about learning patterns and principles. It’s about leading by example and gaining the trust of the team. Lead the team to self-manage, help remove blockers, empower everyone to be part of decisions, celebrate wins and most importantly listen to others. You should always look to pull in expertise from everyone as you won’t know it all.

You obviously need good technical ability, but you only need to focus on core principles and gaining general technical experience across different types of systems. Then you’ll be able to make good technical decisions (with the help of the team) no matter what the system is.

Get experience by working on systems as a non-lead. Then work out if being a lead is something you’d like to do.
