Junior Full-Stack Developer

This is a compilation of questions that we have stumbled upon in our job interviews. None of the questions are generic or borrowed from internet, they are real questions. Me and the other authors (@rudiaj, manny) have decided not to log company names, as that would spoil the idea of the interview itself.

Question type

The questions come from multiple interviews for Full-Stack, Front-End and Back-End positions. All interviews were Junior Level. Most of the questions (level 1) deal with pretty basic stuff and serve a functional purpose of eliminating candidates that do not have a certain level of overall and precise knowledge. A smaller amount of questions are harder (level 2), and they are usually meant to test the way you solve problems. These questions are more important in the eyes of the employer, and this part of the test is often performed live or over a video call. These level 2 questions are almost always in the form of a programming task. The idea being that you are

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git

Requirements

Minikube requires that VT-x/AMD-v virtualization is enabled in BIOS. To check that this is enabled on OSX / macOS run:

sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features | grep VMX

If there's output, you're good!

Prerequisites

This gist has been moved to its own Github repo, so it's easier to contribute with additions and corrections. Please open a PR there if you see any mistake, I don't track comments on here as there's no notification system for gists AFAIK. Thanks.

Processing JSON using jq

jq is useful to slice, filter, map and transform structured json data.

Installing jq

On Mac OS

brew install jq

Atom Clojure Setup

This describes how I setup Atom for an ideal Clojure development workflow. This fixes indentation on newlines, handles parentheses, etc. The keybinding settings for enter (in keymap.cson) are important to get proper newlines with indentation at the right level. There are other helpers in init.coffee and keymap.cson that are useful for cutting, copying, pasting, deleting, and indenting Lisp expressions.

Install Atom

Download Atom

The Atom documentation is excellent. It's highly worth reading the flight manual.

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.
