I really like your way of thinking, most of the hiring managers that I encounter want me to build an algorithm that doesn't make any sense, it isn't a way to test if someone is suitable for the job.

As I always say, the attitude and the perseverance is more important than having a Award from being the best in certain technology.

You can learn a new technology everyday, or a new algorithm that the team needs to solve a problem. But if you're actually a lonely soul that loves to work alone, and barely talks with the other members in the team, and doing everything thinking that's the way that things should be done... What's the point of knowing the implementation of the Huffman Algorithm? (for example) It doesn't change anything.

I'm doing my internship, and my tutor literally didn't let me code until the end. I learned a lot of things, that you need to do in order to make your code better. Since you need to analyse, design a lot of things before even touching the code. Until that it's done, it's time to code.
