I mass applied and ended up landing a 2nd round interview but it's in a language I'm not that familiar with

Sup guys, just wanted to ask u all, should I even bother showing up for an interview next week for a job in which the language they use I'm not that proficient in? Or, should I just try my best to learn what I can in a week and go from there. I come from learning mainly Java + Springboot, but they are testing me on react, js and node.js.

Does anyone have any tips on what to try to do? Or any better approach I can take in the future?

Thank you.

Really need some advice on this, I plan on taking a technical interview in a week but on a language I'm not that familiar with

So, the plan was always to become a full stack developer but I am came from learning and being proficient in Java + Spring Boot while dealing with JS, Node.js and react a little bit, I went ahead and mass applied for jobs and ended up landing a interview for a full stack position, the first round screening interview went well and then I was prompted with a email detailing how my 2nd round interview will be dealing with JS, node.js and react. I'm honestly stuck and dont know how to prepare for this lmao.

So far, if I've been watching the freecodecamp JS 4 hr long course but honestly don't know what to do next. I know I'm rambling lmao but I would really like some advice atp.

Please if anyone could provide a roadmap to prepare better for the future or any advice would be great!

Thank you.

How are you able to solve LC problems right after learning theory on a topic?

So, I just wanted to ask about how do people genuinely watch a video on theory and approach on a DSA topic, (for example, Linked List) and then immediately begin solving and answering problems lol. Or, is that just not a thing? Finally, am I just watching/reading the resources that are stopping me from being able to do the same thing? If I am, pls refer me to resources that best explain theory and approach on DSA topics that can immediately help me solve problems right after learning them.

Using AI to learn DSA concepts before I do problems

I plan on learning DSA theory and concepts with the use of AI, but before I do, I wanted to asked about the general consensus of doing this, do u guys feel as if it's a bad idea to do and it's best I watch YouTube videos or buy a course to learn DSA theory or using AI ok? If u do use AI or have used AI to learn DSA theory and concepts, what did u tell AI to do to aid in ur learning?

I am a beginner to CS and I hear people say "Commit to Spray" all the time but what does that mean? Ik it may be a bot question but I honestly don't know what it means lmao

Every YouTube video I go to, to learn how to play CS always talks about "only crouch when committed to sparky", but I honestly don't know what that means. Does it mean to be crouch and stand still while shooting?
