> I have been told I write better code than my CS grad peers but I have no clue about these algorithms and data structures. For a programer in the industry, the ability to write simple "legible" code is very important. An ideal interview process should spend some time evaluating those skills of a candidate - but this is very very hard to measure. But good familiarity with the basics of CS is also important to be able to perform many of these jobs. Here is a good blog post about this form of interview and the rationale behind it: http://www.goodmath.org/blog/2015/11/19/technical-interviews-more-than-a-brain-teaser/ http://www.goodmath.org/blog/2015/11/19/technical-interviews...
