The author has the right idea. The company I work at hires junior engineers somewhat regularly, and the quality of bootcamp grads varies wildly. It'd be awesome to see additional CS courses on a resumé, as fundamentals like time/space complexity are usually the biggest weaknesses of the bootcamp grads we interview.

In over a dozen years as a professional web developer, I've never once needed to use Big O notation outside of an interview. Sounds like this guy doesn't know how to interview, knows that he doesn't know, but still doesn't want to admit it. No wonder he can't find anyone.

After going through a web dev bootcamp myself where we actually devoted a decent amount of time to algorithms and their time/space complexity -- this has been the thing I have used the least in my professional career.

Maybe your not working on professional things? Also what is a decent ammount of time?
