I agree with you. The author&#x27;s inability to write a breadth-first-search under stress, for example, very much highlights this, in my opinion.<p>I sort-of agree that these specific tasks shouldn&#x27;t be used as an indicator of programming skills, but a breadth-first-search is really quite simple. It&#x27;s mode of operation is in the name, and even if you haven&#x27;t implemented one in a while, you should be able to derive some valid pseudo-code after a while. Especially if you do as much coding as this person claims, and thus are confronted with problems to solve on a regular basis.
