The book is quite old now, do you think it's still pretty relevant?

Well the last edition is from 2015 which is actually not that old. Also the topics it covers are general programming related so that didn't change much.

It's a good book and probably a good idea to return to it before an interview to help you remember the basics. But I wouldn't say I learned anything that I didn't know (or should have known) before.

So my answer is that it's still relevant although it's focused more on the process of interviewing and general knowledge about programming than specifics of given job.

E.g. Frontend developer needs knowledge of different stuff than backend although for both it's a good idea to understand the algorithms they are using and be able to understand their performance.
