I don't think the problems in algorithmics contests are in the category of brainteasers. As far as i know Google still relies heavily on knowledge of algorithms and problem solving capability to hire their engineers.
- kaoD 13y agoFair point. I still think there are two types of programmers: problem solvers and system architects. The former (e.g. a data scientist) will be good solving a problem but bad building a big architecture. The latter, the other way around. I guess the question is which kind of programmer you are and which skills to look for.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoI think there are probably more than just two types of programmers.
