- danaris 4y agoBeing able to quickly come up with efficient algorithms to domain-relevant problems are not pointless brainteasers. Being able to quickly invert a binary tree and that kind of nonsense belongs in library code (at best). It's not something that the average developer should ever need to worry about the actual implementation of, let alone have to implement from scratch in under 30 minutes.
