Time spent: 10 h
(of which reading task TODOs + planning 0.5 h, including time talking to screen about "why the hell is this not working")
Why the longest time in universe: unfortunatelly I have never worked with any used technology before, except JavaScript, Typescript and a little bit React (fresh beginner). I did not know how to write a line of code in Nest, Cypress, partially React and it´s tools; did not know (and unfortunately did not solve, I am sorry about this) overload of the browser to stay in green Performance Indicator. My lack of technology knowledge was a great blocker.
Interview Task: the best I´ve ever seen. I loved the general idea of such a real world scenario, how it was prepared, commented, great clean understandable code, excellent preparation, picking up ideal points to test a programmer in all important skills. I enjoyed every bit of it, which leads me to this conclusion:
It is obvious I do not have what it takes to acomplish task in expected time of 3 hours. I called to Karolína, that I must give up this job, but for fun I will do what I can. But I would love to be one day a man that can write exactly such an application. Be able to split code and functions by their pure responsibilities; pass data exactly as they should be passed (not less, not more); structure components in such an excelent way; choose the best tools for each job; optimize performance and see future caveats; cover it with unit and e2e tests; all developed in best technologies available at the time. To be such a developer is a Holy Grail to me. When thinking about how to get there I have options like to learn it at home with extreme slow learning rurve, or have a real everyday challenge + practice in a real company. I thought I would get a job as a medior frontend developer, which would be probably possible for me as Vue frontend developer, which is unfortunately not exactly what you need. But if you would be willing to accept a humble junior developer to join your ranks, with opportunity to become one day someone who can solve your test in 3 hours, just name your conditions and I would be greatefull for such a chance.
