Regardless of whether or not it’s a good measuring stick to see who to hire (it’s probably not), I feel like DP is something that ought to be in a professional programmer’s toolbox. I’m an embedded developer too, and I end up reaching for DP every year or two. I think I probably use it _more_ because I’m in embedded: if I was willing to accept harder to analyze memory requirements and runtime performance, which I almost always am outside of embedded, most things I’ve solved with DP I could have more swiftly solved by composing algorithms and data structures from the standard library.
