For 20- Exercise- Prime Numbers why can we not just do this

For this video why can we not just do this, I feel like mosh’s implementation is inefficient with 2 loops or am I wrong for hard coding the first primes would this be frowned upon in a job interview.
Mosh’s Implementation

showPrimes(20);
function showPrimes(limit){  
    for (let number = 2; number <= limit; number++){  
	    
	    let isPrime = true;  
	    for (let factor = 2; factor < number; factor++){  
		    if (number % factor === 0){  
			    isPrime = false;  
			    break;  
		    }
		} 
		
		if (isPrime) console.log(number);
	}
}

My Implementation

showPrimes(20);
function showPrimes(number){
    if(number>=2) console.log(2)
    if(number>=3) console.log(3)
    if(number>=5) console.log(5)
    if(number>=7) console.log(7)
    for(let i = 8; i<=number; i++){
        if((i%2!=0) && (i%3!=0) && (i%5!=0) && (i%7!=0))
            console.log(i);
    }
}

Hi,

2 devs means likely 2 different solutions.

2 recruiters will have 2 different verdict on the same solution.

To answer the question.
There is nothing wrong with hardcoding the 1st values.

That said, I actually find Mosh solution more elegant.
The benefit you would get from hardcoding the 1st values is negligible IMHO.

Mosh is also teaching to beginners so it is not necessarily a good thing to make algorithms complex or advanced language feature wise.
