Well, if at least one person reads the discussion, and then starts inventing the algorithms instead of giving up right away, I'd be happy :)
Because someone saying "How would I know? If, and when, I need to know how tree-shaking is implemented, I will go look it up." makes me sad. The tree-shaking algorithm was not given to us by ancient gods. As a programmer, you job it is to solve problems no one has solved before. Interviewing may be indeed broken, but the original article was not showing any evidence of this.
