ya. its insanely stupid on the company's part. long-tenured employees are good because they build up loads of institutional knowledge but if you don't promote people and the only way to get raises is to leave welp you're gonna lose that institutional knowledge over and over

computer engineering is where you turn physics into bits and logic gates and pile abstractions high enough to run an assembly language (mips. it's always mips)

Cybernetic Vermin posted:yeeeeaah, well, that question really is not a lot to ask of people who are supposed to be programming as a profession. even if you don't implement trees that much an awful lot of code does involve at least *walking* a tree of objects, so this seems solidly on the side of reasonable i would identify as a programmer and i have literally never ever used a tree in my paid job. even outside of my job they have come up at best very rarely; i can think of only one instance, ever, where i used something resembling a tree in something resembling production code

Cybernetic Vermin posted:what the standard library does doesn't seem that important, but in all jobs i have had there has certainly been elements of e.g. walking a tree of financial contract types, or users in potentially nested groups, or perhaps even the DOM at times. using search in an ordered binary tree as a standin for getting to verify that the applicant can at least in principle do these things seems fine ya there definitely useful in a bunch of applications and if your application happens to be one of those then by all means use it in your interviews
