Please elaborate on Redux's other motivations. Maybe these might be the points that interviewers were looking for.

If by concept you mean flow of control, reducers etc, then I explained all that as well. Ok, let's say you are correct, then please elaborate "why do we need Redux"?

No, I didn't get any feedback but only that my answers were incomplete. It seemed like that they were looking for something I missed.

RAD??

Can a solo developer make and sell a Niche Saas products?

Thanks for the guid but it's not exactly what I am looking for.

Just use the given aliases and your life would become so easier gst - git status gd - git diff gd --cached gp - git push ga - git add g - git .. - cd ..

I think, I got your point. That is, the underlying principles for all the frameworks is the similar and backbone would help me understand React and Vue better when I learn them in future. Right? Thanks for the great answer!

The code bloat is just an issue for first timers maybe, use svgmin before inlining, and it would reduce the file size significantly. I used it at my projects, 15 SVG icons - 9KB to < 2KB. Then inlined them, now can change fill on hover and lot more. Inlining saves a lot of request overhead. Worried about repetition, the gzip compression takes care of all that. SVG are awesome, but only if you are careful.
