> P.P.S. The reason you don't need algos in your day to day is because you are not good enough at algos to get a funner, better paying, more impactful job where you do

there are a comically high number of jobs at "prestigious" companies where this is absolutely not true

Ok, maybe not the "better paying" part. Should have put an "and/or" in there somewhere

Impactful how? If you want to believe you are not just a cog for some for profit enterprise, but are doing impactful work, cool. I likely disagree, not as a diss on you. I generally see cogs as cogs, myself included. OTOH, your wording wants to believe you and others good enough in algos are better than others.
