That is exactly right. Its terrifying. If if you were the first engineer at 2 successful companies and have a strong github it doesn't always seem to factor in.

I would cram for hours before my blackboard interview making sure I knew all sorts of algorithms, just in case. My friend and I would quiz each other. I don't see how memorizing tree transformations relate to a Django application.

It made it so much more difficult to move jobs.
