This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's super easy to learn how algorithms and what not work without knowing the syntax of a language. I can tell you how a binary search tree works, but I have no clue how to code it in Java because I've never used Java.
And similarly, i could read code in a language I dont know, understand what it does and how it works even if I don't know the syntax well enough to write it myself
Yeah, exactly. At least any fairly modern language. I don't think I could just pick up assembly and read it without the class I took. Heck, I don't think I could read it anymore now that it's been several years since that class.
I mean same, but you can look to the official docs for like what a loop or queue looks like
Not during a test. But maybe in those 20 hours they have.
Oh right I forgot about closed book tests. Been a while
Haven't taken a cert in a while either?
Never. Do you recommend it?
I ended up in the system administration world where certs are strongly recommended. In app dev, I have no idea.
