100% agree. In all my years of coding and other people I know you literally never need to implement an algorithm yourself or do anything that is already provided by a library/framework. Knowing alrogithms/data structures is only ever useful for interviews and nothing else. On daily basis you just make classes and basic CRUD operations and mostly design rather than any hardcore logic let alone algorithm... Interviews are unrealistic.
