Have you experienced a caveat in terms of coding quality? I study mathematics, and I think it is pretty standard for mathematicians to disregard theoretical run times when experimenting and doing "napkin" computations. Invariably this leads to relatively poor code quality. Speaking from experience, I just failed a coding interview because I solved the question like a mathematician would do, i.e. a quick and dirty way. What is your experience with this phenomenon? I know academics often gets railed lacking concepts in data structures etc.
