Questions I typically ask

1. What is your current process?
2. What are the pain points in the current process?
3. How would you define an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? What are the bare minimum of features of an MVP?
4. What would be on your wishlist for a product?

• Creating a shared document where the other person can read and write my notes can also be helpful

Learning web development today

If I were starting my coding journey today and I wanted a job as a professional, here are the steps I would take:

1. Learn from The Odin Project. Build the projects to build a great portfolio and apply for jobs during the full stack portion of the course. This should be enough to land a job.
2. Keep upgrading skills by using Full Stack Open. This course is awesome because of the exercises including refactoring, building, adding technologies, debugging, etc.
3. Optional: Learn from App Academy Open. The object oriented programming projects, the data structures and algorithms, React course, and computer science sections will definitely get someone ready for a company with a very high tier of interviewing.
