Is it really possible to be a senior programmer without understanding a concept of linked list? Mindboggling.

Is it really possible to be a senior programmer without understanding a concept of linked list? Mindboggling.
- jcadam 8y agoI interviewed one who had a lot of trouble finding the largest integer in an array... I mean, it really was a bozo-filter level problem, and it amazed me how many people couldn't do it. Personally, I hate white-board interviews, but I'd be relieved (and yet annoyed at the same time) if you asked me to find the largest integer in an array.
- ThrustVectoring 8y agoIt's much easier to interview for senior programming positions than get them. There's folks who get rejected from a lot of companies.
- Rinzler89 8y agoOh yes and then some. Some of my friends work as devs at some bloated $BIG_CORPS for a few years and reached senior level. However, as they grew in seniority, their coding tasks more and more got replaced with management tasks where the coding was outsourced to developing countries or consultants to the point they almost forgot how to code. Nearly happened to me as well, thank God I left that shit show in time.
