Acing the FE build round
Walk through "Acing the FE build round" in order, then name the proof that tells you it worked.
Step 1 of 2
The build round asks for one component or interaction, live or as a short take-home and grades it on correctness and polish. The win is sequencing: get it working end-to-end, then spend your remaining time where craft shows.
The most common failure is polishing before the thing works - animating a dropdown that doesn't yet open with the keyboard. The second is the opposite: a correct component that looks like a wireframe, from a candidate who never budgeted time for the finish.

The gate is real: don't cross into polish until the happy path actually works end-to-end.
