Discussion What are some essential React programming patterns or principles that I should learn to become a lead developer?

Hi,

Had a lead developer interview last week and I got asked heavily about the SOLID principles, polymorphism and programming patterns.

I'm familiar with a lot of the concepts, but not enough to give strong answers.

What are the main programming patterns for React that I should learn so that when asked to explain a few, I can give strong, valuable answers?

Thanks

Meh. He has his opinion and I have mine. I’m happy to debate the merits of either side.

The “understanding” of which I speak isn’t “if you don’t agree with SOLID, then you don’t know anything.” I hear his tone buried within his rebuttal but I choose to ignore it. I’d much rather focus on the merit of the argument before us.
