Most of the stuff I memorised at the time to try to pass interviews at Google. I didn't make it through on site interviews but I have been fine nonetheless :-D

They basically tell you that the interviews are about anything (also I was interviewing for SRE, which is not actually what I wanted to work at): from math to all the algorithms to all the data structures to system design to software design.

I spent weeks preparing and memorising obscure tree implementations, it felt like being in school all over again and I eventually forgot most of it. Maybe except how graph theory is the coolest :D
