@treyhunner My first paid python job was receiving data from a gate with licence plate scanners and pushing this to a web service. The maker of the gate wasn't able to do that themselves. No data structure or algorithms needed.
Maybe look for jobs where they just need to pass or convert data.
I haven't thought concretely about many academic algorithm-ish topics in years.
I do think it's important to have an intuition about when your code is looping too often but that's about it.
I so rarely think about binary search or whether sorting is too expensive. And I never seem to find myself putting different sized objects in knapsacks in my web dev work. 🤔
