Question 1

What is Cross-Platform Logic?

Accepted Answer

We write complex business logic (calculations, API calls, validation) once in TypeScript. This 'shared brain' of the application controls both the iOS and Android interfaces simultaneously. This ensures that both apps behave exactly the same without code duplication.

Question 2

What is Native Rendering?

Accepted Answer

Unlike hybrid apps that display a website in a container, React Native renders real native UI components. A view in our code becomes a real UIView on iOS and ViewGroup on Android. This guarantees the look, feel, and performance of a native app.

Question 3

What is the Virtual DOM?

Accepted Answer

A performance optimization technique. React calculates all UI changes first in a virtual memory structure. Only then does it determine the minimal necessary updates and sends only these specific commands to the mobile device. This keeps the interface fluid and responsive.

Question 4

What is the Hermes Engine?

Accepted Answer

An open-source JavaScript engine optimized by Meta specifically for React Native. It significantly improves startup time, reduces memory consumption, and reduces app size, ensuring a smooth feel on all devices.

Question 5

What is Expo?

Accepted Answer

A framework and platform that simplifies development with React Native. It offers a variety of pre-built APIs for native features, a simple build system, and over-the-air updates, without needing to worry about platform-specific details.

Question 6

What is TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

A modern, safer version of the JavaScript programming language. It helps us find errors during development, not after the software is live. The result is significantly more stable and easier-to-maintain software.

Question 7

What is Node.js?

Accepted Answer

The runtime environment that allows us to execute JavaScript on servers and developer machines. It powers our unified build pipeline and allows us to use exactly the same professional tools for web and mobile projects.

Question 8

What is Vite?

Accepted Answer

A next-generation build tool that creates the fastest possible development experience. We use Vite specifically for data-heavy dashboards and admin panels to guarantee that the application feels responsive and fluid at all times.

Question 9

What is SSR (Server-Side Rendering)?

Accepted Answer

A technique where web pages are finished on the server and sent to the browser as HTML. This makes content visible to users and search engines immediately, leading to faster load times and significantly better SEO ranking.

Question 10

What is SSG (Static Site Generation)?

Accepted Answer

A method where web pages are generated at build time and served as static files. This leads to extremely fast load times since no server processing is required for each page request.

Question 11

What is an LLM (Large Language Model)?

Accepted Answer

A language model is an artificial intelligence that has learned the rules and patterns of human language by studying vast amounts of text, in order to understand texts, answer questions, and create content fluently.

Question 12

What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?

Accepted Answer

A technique that connects an LLM with your internal company knowledge (e.g., documents, databases). This allows the AI to provide fact-based, company-relevant answers instead of hallucinating or inventing things.

Question 13

What is Agentic AI?

Accepted Answer

Autonomous AI systems that not only text but act. They understand complex goals, create plans independently, and execute actions across multiple software tools (e.g., "Check the CRM, send a follow-up email, and create a report").

Question 14

What is a Vector Database?

Accepted Answer

A special database that stores not just words but their meaning (semantics). It enables an AI to recognize contextual connections. Thus, a search for "problem with laptop battery" also finds help articles on the topic "device not charging".

Question 15

What is MCP (Model-Centric Programming)?

Accepted Answer

A development approach in which AI models act not just as tools but as active co-creators in the development process. They generate code, create documentation and run tests - all in the context of ongoing software development.

Question 16

What is Firebase?

Accepted Answer

A part of the Google Cloud Platform that provides ready-made building blocks for typical app functions. This includes secure user logins (Authentication), real-time data synchronization (Firestore), and push messages (Cloud Messaging). This saves development time and increases quality.

Question 17

What is Cloud Run?

Accepted Answer

A fully managed compute platform that allows running containers directly on Google's scalable infrastructure. It combines the flexibility of containers with the simplicity of serverless: automatic scaling from zero to millions, no server management, and billing based on actual usage.

Question 18

What is PostgreSQL?

Accepted Answer

One of the world's most advanced open-source relational database systems. On GCP (via Cloud SQL), it serves as our robust, structured data backbone for complex data relationships, guaranteeing strict data integrity, reliability, and standard-compliant SQL queries.

Question 19

What is Serverless Computing?

Accepted Answer

A cloud execution model where the cloud provider (Google) dynamically manages the allocation of resources. We focus purely on writing code (e.g., Cloud Functions), while Google takes over operations and ensures high availability and automatic scaling without us having to provision a single server.

Question 20

What is the Single Codebase Strategy?

Accepted Answer

Instead of developing two or three separate applications for iOS, Android, and Web, we build a single central code core that runs on all platforms. The advantage: Faster development, lower costs, fewer errors, and a perfectly consistent user experience.

Question 21

What is Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on VS Code. It integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into the development environment, allowing for intelligent code completion, automated refactoring, and natural language codebase queries.

Question 22

What is Agentic Coding?

Accepted Answer

Agentic Coding is the shift from AI as a code-completer to AI as an autonomous teammate developer that can independently plan, execute, and debug entire software tasks from start to finish.
