When he says "data structures" he actually means "interview questions".

Data structures and algorithms interview questions are the only thing that Google and FB care about.

You joke about that, but I had a friend who interviewed for a developer Evangelist role at Google, and literally the only stuff that they were asked was algorithms questions.

Yeah, it was a 50% technical role, but Google didn't care about the OTHER 50% of the job at all...
