The frustration mounts over time - give the person some slack, they’re probably just venting. Most everyone hates the interview process. The way I see it is if perfectly qualified and not nervous, you have a 40-60% chance of passing an interview - it only takes a few coin flips for someone actually competant to go “hey, this shit I’ve worked much of my life for is arbitrary and random”.
The issue I think the poster is having is they just don’t understand how algorithm interviewers think - it’s totally reasonable to think oh, frontend has a DOM tree usually, so they should know BFS (even though you’d rarely if ever use your own traversal alg - leave it to the people actually researching it, not the person building a frontend).
