React Coding Interview Ft. Clément Mihailescu

[clem]

Conner has an easier time building Wordle than playing the game. 😅

You explained everything better than most of the tutorials on youtube. 😂 Great interview ! You own my sub.

As a developer of Js - React, for me the topic is perfect on both channels, in fact now I'm watching the other on Clement's channel, so thanks for these two guys, great

I ain’t going to lie Conner. You making this game makes me so happy 😂. You are too good at react. Teach me your ways!!

[hardtohandle]

He was prepared. There is no chance to come with the structure of the game in like 2 minutes. Staged for views

[pb]

I actually understood what was going on for the first 10 minutes. Very proud of myself 😂

[iclip]

I was dying inside since I haven't learnt react yet but I love the way you make up the logic so quickly

[nilfux]

99% of coders can't do this in 45 minutes. What would be a reasonable result here? It can't possibly be you don't get the job because you didn't build a full game in under an hour is it?

[louisyou]

You're an absolute beast Conner! Super inspirational🙂

Speaking of the addEventListener optimization at the end, you don't need React to be React-y with the values you're passing. The event listener itself is inherently (lowercase) react-y, and it's updating the state, which is (uppercase) React-y. I feel like optimizing that function would have been a great interview test, whether necessary in this particular situation or not, because it represents a whole slew of common patterns associated with event listeners and effect clean up, which frequently need optimization.

I love watching these interviews! ❤️🍺
And I doubt if any candidate is able to give as fluent explanation as you😂, while writing solution on the go in tense interview environment. But ig you have an edge in explaining stuff because of past experience in making courses/tutorials.

These kinds of interviews are way better than just your basic lazy l33tcode interview. These actually show someone can be productive in React on the first day of employment versus just memorized some algorithm.

[Kim-trop]

haha, the interview. create a game, but u will get hired if only u can win the game you created

[sanesanyo]

One can hate Facebook as much as they want but React is probably their greatest gift ever to the developer world :). All hail React, made me fall in love with Web Development :). Also nice interview sessions. So far I have watched two of them and in both sessions I felt I could solve those problems too even though I do web development mainly for fun :)

Hi. I am trying to follow along in my own codesandbox, but I get a CORS error when trying to use your API. How do you fix that?

[sergskyc]

Didn't understood anything in code (def not my level yet, hopefully one day), but the way you solved this so easily... It just deserves "subscribe" button to be pushed 😀 Impressive!!!

[jessica_tee]

I understand everything going on in this video and could definitely code this myself, could I do it while someone is chance! :D

These type of coding challenges just don't work for me, I completely freeze, mistype characters, panic and just lock up, the last time I done a test like this I started crying after 15 mins lol take home tests and then a chat afterwards about my solution though I completely smash!

Great video and solution :)

[paulnjikamdoum]

I am at my fiest year of react i hope i will become skilled like you as time passes

[thanhquachable]

Thanks Conner and Clement for another great interview video. I don't only learn the logic and how you approach the problem, but also the coding style. Please make more videos like this.

[oguzhancevik]

it was fun to watch, better than best tutorial on youtube
