An Early Career Lesson… Years ago when I was interviewing for the first time, I distinctly remember a coding challenge I received that asked me to create an app that allows users to enter a prefix and receive a list of words that contained the entered prefix. I was given a little over two hours to complete the challenge. Eager to impress, I tried to spin up a React app, which at the time was the latest and greatest front-end js framework at the time (this was before create-react-app was a thing), and Redux because that technology was cool and new.
