To someone who does know about this stuff, though, it seems completely fundamental. It's a total mystery (to me at least) how a half-decent programmer could avoid getting curious enough to figure out what a linked list is.
There's at least one other place you can get competent people who know about the fundamentals: academia. This is why Google tries so hard to lure people from academia.
