Novel solutions aren't as helpful as you think. Pragmatic, simple, vanilla solutions are reliable.
You won't create your own linked list library, you'll use one from the standard library.
General runtime analysis can be helpful - but production, real-world benchmarks trump all theoretical performance values.
Code changes - how do I make a change to a production system in a million line code base that has good test coverage and when deployed, won't bring the entire system down. That's an exercise in the coding interviews that is completely ignored but most useful in the day-to-day professional setting.
- atraac 4y ago> General runtime analysis can be helpful - but production, real-world benchmarks trump all theoretical performance values This is what I always found funny. Most of the software development work these days is related to web apps. Optimizing that nested loop won't do anything if you have to wait 300ms on some shitty API to answer anyway. It literally doesn't matter, noone cares. Related meme I saw on reddit some time ago where senior developer says 'haha nested for loop go brrrrr': https://i.redd.it/lmrf72ko0ro41.png https://i.redd.it/lmrf72ko0ro41.png
