These articles tell of the broad meaning for “Front-End Web Developer” talking of how “HTML + CSS along with JavaScript” all fall under the same title causing confusion with job interviews and even once a developer gets into the job. It is neat to hear perspectives of Alyssa Nicholl and Joe Eames together as Alyssa is more on the HTML/CSS side of Web Dev and Joe Eames is more with the JavaScript side.The panel also discusses difficulties with interviewing for jobs. Charles Wood leads a discussion on what the interviewers could improve on in hiring the people they actually want. The panel shares experiences of not getting jobs for reasons that are not super valid. They also touch on the pay difference between the 2 sides of the “WebDev” job description.LinksThe Great Divide by Chris CoyierThe Refactoring UI YoutubeTales of a Non-Unicorn: A Story About The Trouble with Job Titles and DescriptionsWhy Everyone Is Fighting About CSS/UX and JSEconomicsCodePen Job Posting PicksJoe Eames:The Refactoring UI YoutubeThe Refactoring UISteve Schoger TwitterNestJSCharles Wood:The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right by Atul GawandiAlyssa Nicoll: 100 Days CSS ChallengeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/adventures-in-angular--6102018/support.
