I'm curious to meet these devs that claim that even having a basic understanding of algorithms/data structures fundamentals is not worth their time. Something tells me that the work they do is more related to design/front end and as a consequence they've either never needed to use computer science fundamentals or have been able to get away with naive implementations due to working on trivial problems. Usually I don't bother engaging in arguments with these people because I know that the standard algorithms interviews will weed these people out so that I never have to deal with them but I've started to notice a trend in more of these people finding their way into the "big 4" type companies and ending up on large scale/infrastructure projects where they end up making very critical mistakes, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13700452 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13700452
