An Architect said "On prod, Node 0.12 is installed. In dev env, we use 4.0. It's 4 major version
differention". Seems that he didn't know Node history.
Another Architect said "In Angular, triple equal signs we could check whether it really equal." YIKES!
NET developer: "We already have too many package managers: NuGet, NPM, Bower.". But forgot to mention that backend guys decided to introduce Bower, needlessly.
"Which tool have you used to test your Javascript code automatically?" interviewer asked.
"Automatically?" wondered candidate. "JS code can be tested manually, only."
Your Java teammate declared "Need no unit testing and linting on JS codes. Just ship solution as soon as possible."
All of them above are prototypes of Homo javascripticus ludens. And the question is how to become or stay professional, how to be Homo javascripticus expertus.
