Development's Ability: React

We utilize React to create scalable, performant, and seamless user experiences.

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability with only a small amount of guidance

• You understand Javascript syntax and data types
• You write basic functions
• You make relatively simple additions to existing React components
• You write basic unit tests with Jest
• You follow our JavaScript and React style guides

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability, with no assistance as well as being a trusted active or passive mentor to others

• You understand when and how to use callbacks
• You write more complex integration and end-to-end tests
• You follow the functional programming paradigm first
• You follow existing patterns on state management and make suggestions to the improve our state management when necessary
• You make minor version upgrades to our JavaScript packages
• You create abstractions in our JavaScript code when necessary (e.g. using mappings or reusable hooks)
• You actively contribute to our React and JavaScript style guides

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to multiple squads when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability as well as being considered an expert within this discipline

• You proactively improve the performance of our React components
• You lead the charge in getting agreements used across the entire frontend to improve code consistency, styles, and patterns.
• You guide system-level changes to our front-end configurations (ex. Webpack)
• You dive into JavaScript package source code to debug or understand how something works
• You make major upgrades to our Javascript packages

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can not only employ this ability but where they set the tone for this at the company level

• You support and coach any relevant area of the organization with their use of React
• You support the local React community by offering feedback and coaching others on how to better utilize React

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to not just internal teams but the community/industry in general when wielding this ability, and they are recognized by the community/industry as an expert

• You contribute to and lead open source projects to better the React community
