@jamescross

Yes. We use data structures all the time. Algorithm is just another way of saying instructions which we code all the time. Often algorithms is thrown around to describe efficient solutions to more complex problems. Unfortunately, this does come up in interviews. If I had to choose between memorizing algorithms and refining my skills building applications, I would build applications. Build a portfolio. Not every interview will be heavy into algorithms, but you will be expected to do the job they are hiring for.

By definition you use algorithms everyday. As for those taught to solve harder problems, totally depends on what you work on.

Hard to know how much people do or don't know. Hope I didn't offend you as that wasn't my intention. Have those been used on projects I have worked on? Yes. Everyday, no. What happens is when there is a need for something like that, you typically use a builtin function, or if that's not available or good enough then you pull in a package that has optimized things and if that won't work for your needs then you write something. When you write something, if possible you write it so that it is reusable within the project so that there aren't a bunch of implementations everywhere. You might have to occasionally enhance it, but in most areas it's not like you have to write a new tree algo everyday. Most people's search requirements aren't as intense as Google Search because of the cost / rewards of investing that heavy into search. If however, you were working some of the Google Search algorithms, then you might be working on this stuff all the time. You might have one team doing a fair amount of this and the rest of the teams work on other stuff.
