> Nobody remembers them for ever Actually I always thought the opposite - if you started programming in the 80’s (maybe early 90’s), you had to write sort algorithms and you had to study them in college, so you’re going to be bound to remember them at least well enough to come up with the “base case” (i.e. bubble sort). I do assume that younger programmers, especially self-taught types, probably haven’t come across these to if they did, it was one lecture, once, ten years ago, memorized and forgotten because they never applied it again.
