Just because we started of by writing tons of ad code and learned from it, doesn't mean that's the ONLY good way to become a good developer. And yes, developers need to know the fundamentals. And algorithms are one of them. We are living in an age where we have hundreds of languages and tens of thousands of frameworks and libraries. The only way to become pro-efficient with all of these if you know the basics and know it well. We are past the times where you learned one or two languages in school and at home and was enough to land a decent job. No it's the time for the 'Jack of all Trades'. And please don't write tons of bad code. We already have tons of it in legacy systems and loads of libraries around the world.
