I don&#x27;t think many software engineers deal with &quot;computer science problems&quot; in their everyday jobs.<p>GitHub stars are worth much more IMO. It shows that other developers value your work. That says a lot.<p>In the end, we have to realize that most developers are just average. Why go through the ridiculous process of finding average developers who by luck (or some homework) happen to solve the problems you throw at them perfectly?
