I am so glad to see this. However, I feel often the problem is on the interviewer end as its very common to shoot algorithmic problems at FE engineers.
Great blog post. I will incorporate some of those ideas (like testing) into the challenges.
I agree that the interviewer side is a mess and one of the long term ideas for this is to create interview packages for companies to help assess and calibrate FE candidates.
To avoid any conflicts I'm trying to keep my employer out of it, but it would definitely help with reputation.
Very well done! I like that these are plain JavaScript challenges, however, I think including more traditional interview questions such as algorithms and data structures that are presented in your way would be valuable.
Hey thanks! I actually stayed away from those kinds of problems because they're well covered by other sites, but I'm interested in what you mean by presenting then in my way?
Do you mean algos in a practical front end context?

I wrote down some of my ideas for hiring questions here: https://medium.com/@lifeinafolder/not-so-crazy-ideas-for-hir...
Also out of curiousity, why haven't you made your profile public on the site? I think it would add more credibility.
