You'll see "or equivalent experience" but you'd be surprised at how many web startups using bootstrap will test you for data structures + algorithms chops.

As an example: I'm talking about hopping on skype for front-end jobs in angular, and they have some guy snickering at me not being able to solve a pathfinding equation.
