If you build quality working programs that is what counts. Not that you can fly through some esoteric template shenanigans. When I being questioned by potential client we talk about what I've done and how (I design and build products usually from scratch). I also give references so people can check. If they start talking to me about can I write correct code in C++ or whatever other language right here I know I am in a wrong place. Normally such talk never happens.
