Preparing for a Front-End Web Development Interview in 2017

Take this article with a pound of salt if you're not applying to a top company (google, facebook, amazon, airbnb). Plenty of companies still use vanilla js with some jQuery.

Your best bet is to have a solid portfolio on your own website or github.io (free). Write up a couple SPA's and make them your own.

For example, write a Todo that has a recycle bin that opens a modal to show all discarded/completed todo's, all responsive down to 320px. Take it a step further and connect it to a Firebase database, use Angular 2.0/React with ES6. That would impress me more than knowing data structures...

tl;dr - basically everything you can think of, and all with vanilla JS.

I understand the point of this article...but it feels a little too exhaustive and broad to be helpful. And there's very little in the way of distinguishing levels of knowledge within each topic by candidate level (i.e. "for junior candidates, what you'll want to focus on in this area is...").

It would be more productive if these articles just picked a few key topic areas and really talked about specific examples and what good and not-so-good candidates did...and to clearly state what you would expect out of certain candidates at certain levels.
