100% a generation thing.

Been around long enough so I've written my own CSS framework, server-side framework, web browser, web server, sent bits over Ethernet, written assembler, programmed a FPGA, built circuits, AND have a electrical engineering degree... and YET, _ABSOLUTELY NONE_ of this is useful _99%_ of the time.

So meh. If I want you to do frontend, I will ask you frontend questions. Hopefully you can go deep on a11y and that's what I care about.

(But the 1% of the time when I can precisely step through a whole stack is also fun.)

Exactly, someone who can answer where media queries fall in terms of loading priorities for FE (when hiring for that.)

Electrical engineering is a whole nother thing!

  • Hence the differences in the level of schooling. Graduating a coding boot camp for using React vs years of engineering school. Why are the interviewers are confused on this is the unsane thing.
