@MsFionaTay @RichFelker The thing is, if you can't do the fun part of the job, how can you be expected to do the boring part ? :-P
@laurentbercot @MsFionaTay Yes. There are _some_ jobs you need arcane knowledge for, but this knowledge is not being tested as job qual.

@laurentbercot @MsFionaTay Instead it's a way of screening for candidates who had the privilege to explore "the fun stuff" in free time. -
@laurentbercot @MsFionaTay And knowing algorithms off the top of your head is not a useful job skill. Knowing where to look them up is. -
@RichFelker @MsFionaTay I definitely agree with that. But knowing algorithms isn't what's being tested there (in principle).
