There are still companies who refuse to believe this and still put Senior+ devs through hell during an interview process with junior level algorithm memorization.

In all aspects there will be dinosaurs and deniers and there will be embracers.

How can you assess the output of coding agents if you don't know about algorithms and other fundamentals of software engineering?

		I don’t particularly mind algorithmic interview questions (they’re at least self-contained, somewhat objective, and something you can prepare for), but most software engineering has always been done by people with no knowledge of algorithms or compsci fundamentals. What’s being lost is coding fluency, not compsci knowledge.

There is no such thing as "junior level algorithm".

And one does not memorize algorithms.

		Better example, leetcode interviews became so popular because people were memorizing FizzBuzz and they needed an alternative (but said interviewers didn't fully understand the purpose of FizzBuzz and though "harder means better, right?").
