I thought that too until we had a guy start two years ago that interviewed well and answered questions like he knew what he was talking about but then when he started, one of his first questions was how to figure what endpoint was being called by a website (as obvious as looking at your browser's Network tab, or browsing the website's source to find the endpoint). Not long after that he had to clear a couple more values as part of a cache invalidation procedure and was utterly bamboozled by the if (!cached) { clearCache(); } else { cache(data); } logic. That was an exceptionally draining few months until he was sacked.
