1. Foundations. How are your foundations? Given an array of promises, could you run them serially (instead of running them in parallel like Promise.all).

2. Do you have experience working with technologies that are trending? If not, start a side project using them.

3. How's your speed? Given the assets, could you build this in an hour? (this was an actual hands on interview problem) https://www.google.com/logos/2011/worldsfair11-hp.html?hl=en

During the day our students do practice problems that drill these concepts.

1. Wow, never thought of Promises as a foundation. I was never a fan of them in the first place.

2. Trending technologies do not necessarily make sense.

3. If I'm not mistaken, this is just: on mouse over, switch CSS class. CSS jutsu would be... interesting though. Oh, and set position.

Anyway, I am starting to see a lesson for myself here :) Thank you, sir!
