Spouse got EAD approved and has ITIN, can she start working while SSN is pending?

Sorry, I couldn't find similar questions asked before.
I have a pending employment-based i-485 (after an approved i-140) and my derivative spouse got her EAD approved, got her card too. She already has an ITIN which she got when I filed W-7 for our last year's tax reports. Can she start working now? We booked her an appointment but that is 2 weeks from now, and I remember SSA takes 2/3 weeks to send the actual SSN by mail. Not to rush things, but there were a few recruiters who reached out saying they need some contract workers almost immediately.

Note:
Asking this because I remember when I first started working, I had to do something called I-9 verification and only got my SSN after 2 weeks of my job start date in the US.

Some employers seem to ask for SSN number while applying for the job itself.

Sorry, I am not trying to say one is better than the other. Both courses, at a first glance, seem to be teaching full stack with NodeJs on the backend. I am not asking about the TOP Ruby course (but the one below). I have experience with JS (not on web though) and am decent with programming (C/C++/Kotlin/Python) and am okay picking up a new language.
I am trying to learn web dev in an intensive way (probably will skip some projects) as I need it for my job.
Which one would you recommend if I want to learn full stack with JS 'faster'? I say, faster, because I will be working on full stack on my new role (within the same company but a new team).

I came upon a very highly regarded course by Helsinki called Full Stack open (https://fullstackopen.com/en/ ) and teaches web dev. I am a programmer who has worked with C/C++ and a bit of Python. I want to learn end-end web dev just for my own curiosity and want to go quickly through the course. However, I notice the website mentions 'A new course part has been released: https://courses.mooc.fi/org/uh-cs/courses/full-stack-open-nextjs' .
I am that familiar with nextjs, nodejs, etc and can't figure out if the Full-stack-open-nextjs is supposed to be a sequel to the first Full Stack open course or just a new version of that course.

Could experienced folks give some guidance here if I should just continue from Chapter 1 of the Full stack open or jump straight to the nextjs one?
