DSA is not necessary for every tech field.
If he's an ethical hacker or a cyber security expert then knowing DSA is not an absolute necessity.
Same with a Devops engineer, a systems engineer, a 3d animator etc etc.
DSA, despite the recent hype is not a requirement for every field of tech.

Did you see the title of the OPs thread? Or are you talking for talking sake? He clearly asked about Programming and mentioned a specific Programming Language FY

And NO there is no "recent hype" about DSA. IT has always been a core requirement for programmers. I learnt about DSA 19 years ago in Uni. And those that taught me learnt about DSA many more years earlier than that

DSA in the long run for a dev is important, if you want to advanced the ladder to a degree, the interviews

Why are you being combative.
I made that statement of fact for posterity sake and in order to make straight the twisted path.

Knowledge of DSA will always be a 'nice to have for every field of tech' but it is certainly not a requirement in every field.

It might not have been in context, but take the points and leave arguments.

Yeah, for a dev.
But not every field in tech is strictly dev.
Like I said, an ethical hacker, or a sound processing engineer, network automaton engineer, 3d animator etc etc, doesn't necessarily need extended knowledge of DSA.
