I'm about to give an interview!

What are some good questions to ask a prospective front-end web dev?

@mawr "Let's say the back-end system throws an error. Tell me a bit about how you would walk through trying to explain to the user what went wrong." (Looking for overly technical explanation to non-technical people, looking for not telling the customer something went wrong).
"Tell me about a time you had to write a solution with incomplete requirements. How did you go about filling in what you didn't know?" (Look for decision-making capability and willingness to be wrong.)

@literorrery That former one wouldn't apply very well in this position, but that second question is _EXCELLENT._

*steal!*

Thank you! ♥️
