Sponsors Sentry use the code “devchat” for 2 months free on Sentry small plan TripleByte offers a $1000 signing bonus Panel Alyssa Nicoll Joe Eames Charles Wood Episode SummaryThis weeks panel, Charles Wood, Alyssa Nicholl, and Joe Eames discuss 2 articles: 1st The Great Divide by Chris Coyier and 2nd Tales of a Non-Unicorn by Laura Schenk. 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.Links The Great Divide by Chris Coyier The Refactoring UI Youtube Tales of a Non-Unicorn: A Story About The Trouble with Job Titles and Descriptions Why Everyone Is Fighting About CSS/UX and JS Economics CodePen Job Posting PicksJoe Eames: The Refactoring UI Youtube The Refactoring UI Steve Schoger Twitter NestJS Charles Wood: The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right by Atul Gawandi Alyssa Nicoll: 100 Days CSS Challenge Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/adventures-in-angular--6102018/support.
