That's different though. Its like comparing learning Angular 2 or MongoDB with grinding through Cracking the Coding Interview. Sure they both involve doing stuff in your spare time, but the former can be (or made to be) much more interesting than regurgitating algorithms.
- tdumitrescu 9y agoTo each his own I guess. When I find time to get on those hackerrank type sites, I find the algorithm practice and refreshers to be both enjoyable and time extremely well spent in terms of maintaining fundamental CS skills. It doesn't matter if my job doesn't have me implementing graph algorithms every day, it affects the code I write (and decide not to write) all the time. Learning how to weld a few 3rd-party APIs together just isn't enough to be a truly good professional.
