Having a front end web developer/designer implement a b-tree from memory for example.

A b-tree or a binary tree? A b-tree doesn't even sound believable, unless there's other info you're not telling us.
I have been asked to write a matrix search robot (Ideal solution using A* algorithm) for a company that was doing CRUD education software apps, in which I was applying for a full stack position with plenty of experience building prod apps in their stack. I just looked them up and they shuttered about 12 months after the interview.
So what happened with the b-tree??
