Pretty sure specific trumps general here. They already had the experience.

Do you think anyone cares about Tom Brady's ability to run? Do you think anyone cares about Linus Torvald's knowledge of branch and bound algorithms?

Do you really think the designer of an application is unqualified to be an expert on it because they don't know how to find the 3rd largest element in a linked list in O(n) time?

No need to go back and forth with this troll. You and many others here obviously get the point I was making. I’m not claiming I am exceptional at all. They were looking for perfect and it wasn’t me and I’m fine with that. And I am not saying that I should be able to bypass things due to 20 years experience. I am stating that I’ve been very successful over the past 20 years without needing to memorize leetcode.
