>> if I ask you to write a function that determines whether two given words are anagrams of each other
I've no college degree, I've been writing software earning me a comfortable living for 2 decades and for fun for 3 decades. I've solved a lot of problems in software and never heard of Big O until recently on HN. If you ask me about college quiz stuff like fuzzbuster (fizzbuster?) or anagrams I have to Google what an anagram is in the first place. I've never seen anyone paid to write them, never had a manager ask me to write one.
