> when they run into an interesting problem tend to search Github or Stack Overflow, even when it is a basic algorithm problem (I’ve met programmers with years of experience who couldn’t write code to maintain a linked list) This comment feels incongruous with the rest of the article: why wouldn't I refer to a standard implementation rather than trying to solve it on my own? Isn't that a commendable case of not ignoring the 'old junk'?
