I wasn’t expecting to see Jeremy when I opened the link. I’m a long time fan of his work and have been recently playing with Claudette. Claudette is written using a Jupyter notebook in a literate programming style. Seeing Jeremy deconstruct problems and build solutions from first principles is always amazing. I have experience with multiple JS frameworks and I am excited to try fasthtml. Thank you Jeremy for all your contributions.

Wow! Great feeling to know that my interview prep guides were somebody's answer to this question about life changing things!

Good luck with your FAANG job!


Interesting read; what are good calculus resources that achieve Strang's outlook? I do know Strang has a free calculus book. I've taken calculus years ago and have forgotten most of it. I hated that it was taught to me in a rote way. I am looking for resources that teach the essence well similar to 3blue1Brown.


I would also be interested in this, since I find Strangs style great.


You beat me to this idea but I'm glad you did. Nice library. Mock API's are quite the productivity multiplier. I use them extensively for local development, prototyping, testing, and demoing. I've hacked similar things for work; first one was based on jsondb and the second one was based on axios-mock-adapter.

Colorizing[1] the console logs for quickly parsing success and failure might be a nice addition. [1]: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/cons...

Can you please provide more detail when it's best to use runtime type checks? For webapps with strict TS config, I'm failing to see the advantage. Runtime errors can occur when crossing boundaries from server API to UI but when you discover the exceptions, you go fix your contract.


1st it's easier to identify which contract is inaccurate, or even whether the contract is inaccurate or not in the first place

2nd it's more convenient for both the end-user and the developers that errors are handled this way


Where is the free roadmap to big four tech companies from the FAQ? How does the upfront pricing work; I assume someone with a CS degree and some experience requires lesser coaching effort.


Sorry about the confusion with our website and the roadmap. We’ve been changing our website around and still have missed a couple of things.

Upfront pricing is paid 2-weeks after starting the program for the exact same coaching the ISA students receive and will work with you until you get hired.

Something new we’ve implemented is that we can adjust the mentor ship fee depending on your experience interviewing. Usually this involves just having a chat with me with a mini mock interview. If you’re already pretty strong, then we can give a discount.


Looks interesting. Is there a list of libraries that are productions ready that can be used with it? I'm looking for Formik and ReactRouter equivalents at least.


Try a minimal set up with create react app with typescript and react testing library. Go through the react and typescript docs. Try Formik for easier forms next. Axios for HTTP requests. You can then venture into client side routing with React Router and finally may be Redux for complex state management.


Thanks for linking this. I have been curious how auto diff gets implemented.


I feel the exact same way. I really appreciate that he clearly defines concepts, explains the rules and demonstrates with concrete examples of what he is talking about.
