> software development is not data structures and algorithms. Software development is almost entirely about understanding what others want and then translating them into Data structures and algorithms. Author could have meant software development is not about implementing already implemented data structures and algorithms. imo better questions would have a candidate using the DSAs than implementing them. eg: questions that require them to use binary search, bitsets etc
