I suppose I fundamentally do not agree that the skills are unrelated. I think they are the same skills, but applied to a much smaller problem that fits in 45 minutes. The author does not make any case that the smorgasbord of alternatives he offers are any better. And none of this has to do with your “well I can just Google a well-known problem like this in real life so it doesn’t matter” argument.
