It really confuses me why front-end developers need to learn complex algorithms just to get hired. It is by far one of the greatest mysteries of life.

Regarding "a missing piece in this article", I didn't really want to jump into the rabbit hole of interviews because it would make my article longer than it should be. Furthermore, I only wanted to discuss what programmers do in their jobs, not before they get their jobs, because that's a whole new beast of a topic itself. If I had added interviews in my article, it would be so bloated and the main message—which are the facets of programming we have to worry about daily—would be lost.
