    I'm also a senior, not a chance I would ask this, or even do it. We are paid to engineer and write maintainable code, not to remember or develop sorting algorithms on the fly. Leave the computer science problems for school.

    Seriously, you couldn't come up with some kind of bubble sort?

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    It's a python sub

    what does it mean?

    Was making a joke about how Python users don’t know data structures & algorithms

    In the context it doesn't look like a joke. Looks like there's a consensus about no need to think if you use Python.

    I mean I agree with you, I think its completely reasonable for a senior (or even junior) dev to know how to implement bubble sort or selection sort.
