This is a good way to offend most developers since most like to see themselves as rocket scientists instead of plumbers. But I have to agree, it's MOSTLY plumbing. Thus the reason we see people argue, "Don't make me leetcode during an interview bro! Who ever implements their own algorithm these days?"
- IshKebab 8y agoI asked that during my last interview but it turns out the job actually is a lot of new algorithm development, which is fun and challenging.
- Apocryphon 8y agoLucky! What kind of role is it?
- IshKebab 8y agoHelping to write a sort of compiler for a new chip architecture. The previous job I had (I've only had two programming jobs - used to do engineering) also wasn't CRUD - it wasn't as algorithmic but it did involve lots of low level USB programming which was interesting. Are non-CRUD jobs really that rare? Surely if you don't want a CRUD job just find a company that wouldn't need to write any...
- sidlls 8y agoI agree that most development doesn't require sophisticated research quality abilities. But that has little to do with what you're talking about. Leetcode style questions are valuable for testing a recent graduate on his textbook knowledge, not for what you imply.
