Company wants me to work a day first before contract

If you are reading while you are gulping, you are doing it wrong young padawan.

Maybe they are but my point was never having heard of them as a frontend developer. I know there are more but those are kind of like the main ones I guess. I prefer Gulp because it's easier to read compared to grunt.

I've seen a few articles about people moving to using node scripts as you say. Webpack is the way forward for me although I do use node scripts here and there.

I understood, was merely pointing out the fact that the JS community is innovating a lot (very unstable) at the moment. New tools every week. So 5 years in front-end(JS) terms is like 20 years in C#/Java terms something like that.

He's clearly not that good since he doesn't know yarn...

I didn't know about Yarn and a quick search on it shows it's something pretty recent (last few months I'd say). And even the videos on youtube seem pretty recent too. But I will check it out later on today.

Point taken.... That is very true. I wonder how long they will keep this up. Maybe javascript the language should slow down.

Question begs, what happened to 3 months probation? I mean really, a day?

That's what happens when times are tough and they want very good candidates and cannot take a chance with a palooka. In other words not even being able to learn on the job is good enough anymore.

So true. Sad.

I don't think you really understand what 3 month probation is. Because it most certainly is not "sorry, we are not extending your contact"
