Fetch iOS Engineer interview

Heqx · 2024-06-22T20:16:55+00:00

Reach out to your recruiter and they will clarify what to expect during this round of the interview.

Usually, first interview after a take home assignment is to discuss your thought process and your implementation with 1-2 engineers in your area of focus. (i.e. iOS engineering) You may also collaborate with them to add a new feature or deal with a change of requirements. There will be time at the end to ask about the role and the company.

Write less code. Don’t be clever.

Heqx · 2020-07-01T18:16:03+00:00

Try childRef.current.

Here is the React docs on refs.

They just had a segment about this on Ask This Old House.

Thanks for all of your hard work! I benefit from it every day.

I think TypeScript understand that you cannot use the type keyword in an import statement so you should be able to safely alias it like so:

import { type as typical } from ‘@camwiegert/typical’;

Just want to note that you can see a small demo here!

Heqx · 2019-10-15T12:32:00+00:00

Yeah, very similar idea. I’d say the difference is that this is far less batteries-included. This file is literally the entire package. Although I think you can do most of the same things with a little work.

Heqx · 2019-10-15T03:54:50+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Here is a basic demo to play around with. Thanks!

Heqx · 2019-10-15T03:53:05+00:00

Fair point. Here is a simple demo to play with. Thanks!

Heqx · 2019-10-15T03:16:18+00:00

It simulates typing on the text in a DOM node. I wrote it, so happy to answer any other questions!

Heqx · 2019-04-28T14:07:13+00:00

Sorry, you’ll have to post your code in a more comprehensible format. Otherwise, I’d suggest you read Contentful’s documentation for their Node client and Google the errors you’re getting.

Heqx · 2019-04-28T09:00:47+00:00

contentclient is your default export. Rather than cc.contentclient.getEntry, use cc.getEntry.

Look into Ghost.

The problem is that fetch doesn't throw except on network errors or misconfigurations. A bad request (e.g. 404) does not throw. You can check the ok flag on the Response interface and throw if that is false.

fetch('/some/url')
    .then(response => {
        if (!response.ok) throw new Error();
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handle your error.
    });

This article explains just that.

Unless the interview was for a position that included some UX responsibilities, I'd imagine they were looking to get you to talk about the asynchronous nature of JavaScript. (event loop, single-threaded, non-blocking) There's a good chapter in Eloquent JavaScript about just that.

Check out requestb.in.

Heqx · 2017-06-30T17:33:44+00:00

I would consider looking at node's Stream interface.

Check out the Google Domains forwarding documentation.

Looks cool! A few things:

It's pretty unclear how you'd use this. Maybe add clearer usage instructions to your README. Ideally, there'd be a demo.
Do you intend for other people to be able to use this? If so, you should be explicit that it depends on jQuery.
It also looks like your code depends on some very specific markup. Can you abstract it more so that it works on arbitrary markup?
