Webpack
Also written as bundler
A tool that bundles JavaScript, CSS, and other assets into optimized files for the browser to load. (Vite is a faster, more modern alternative.)
Think of it like
Like a moving company that packs all your boxes efficiently into one truck before shipping, instead of sending everything separately.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Has only worked inside a Webpack config someone else set up.
Senior sounds like
Has configured a build themselves and can describe a real tradeoff they made in it.
Ask them
“Have you configured a Webpack build yourself, or only worked within one someone else already set up?”
