I agree. Memorizing algorithms to answer leetcode questions have their benefits but it’s extremely rare that a front end web developer would need those skills. If they did, that would mean the backend engineers aren’t using the right approach to organize and serve data to the client.

The point is if you know the basic algorithms and can apply them you don't need to memorize the answers to leetcode. You can (Gasp) come up with them.
