I am having a lot of job interviews lately. Interviewers usually ask me about my latest experience. It was implementing a pretty clever parser involving a lot of memory management. So I give details about the algorithm to the interviewer. I try my best to make it simple to understand. But most of the time, I get this kind of comment: "That sounds great, but which kind of middleware/broker/framework did you use?" I answer: none, we crafted everything from scratch. And then come the "oh, no Angular then"? "Angular? What the fuck are you talking about?" And then I go into autistic mode: get lost, you buzzword seeker. So my piece of advice to everyone: algorithms don't get you hired.
