I'm glad that I am not alone. I've done mostly non-UI C++/C#/Java/Python stuff, mostly business level rules and devops and evangelizing good practices such as CI and clean code and git (you would be surprised how many people don't even know how what it is or how to squash and rebase). Having studied computer engineering we did not really focus on algorithm but more on lower level stuff and signal processing. I do not really fit any of the "standard" interviews. I've done the TripleByte interview and other top 100 corporation interviews and they all seem to assume a computer science formation or if not than assume you are a web dev. So yeah, I know how to implement most algorithms efficiently, I just can't remember how to describe exactly Dijkstra's from memory or how to balance a tree on a whiteboard under stress. I've seen them, I learned them, but 7 years after not using them I forgot (and frankly don't care).
