    The Most Complete React UI Component Library

  • If it involves somewhat more complex layouts (ex: the primereact above-the-fold part of the landing page) yes, but ONLY with the caveat of if they're trying to guage how you approach a problem with the expectation of the junior dev most likely not being able to do it. If I were to present something like that as a task, I'd approach it from the perspective (and state this during outlining the task) of seeing how you approach a potential problem, the avenues you take to resolve those problems, etc. How would you work with the background problem if left to yourself? How would you deal with the text/gradient issues? In the real world, we'd have resources available to help our junior devs when they need assistance for things they don't fully understand, but the important thing is to know that you'll attack a problem and try things within your knowledge to resolve said problem. Programming = problem solving. Doesn't have to be perfect in literally any sense, doesn't necessarily have to even be the right answer, just want to know that you attempt to resolve the problem with what you know. Junior devs are there to learn and grow as developers while working, not to always have the right answer.
