I am inclined to agree. I think the issue is just with the HN title. The repo does say that it is for interview prep. I will say that I've seen some companies improve their interview questions to be less about having CS insight or algorithmic "tricks" and more about writing good code. But I've also been asked to essentially come up with quickselect in a 45 minute screener, the asymptotic analysis of which took me more than 45 minutes to understand.
