reuben is a developer

(78/100) days of code

• cool video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ

• phone interview went well, onsite on monday

  • studying up on JS
  • leetcode for DS&A
  • gotta brush up on explaining my projects

• adding questions to YDKJS today (jk tomorrow lol)

• TIL:

  • i'm already pretty familiar with the event loop, it turns out
  • i'm good with asynchrony and event delegation
  • any asynchronous code is pushed to the task queue once it resolves, it is NOT immediately pushed to the call stack
  • the task queue executes only when the call stack is empty, and the first entry in the task queue is always the currently running script
  • the microtask queue happens with promises; it is basically a “sub-task” queue, as it only executes when the current task it is associated with is finished
