> no _way_ is binary search the first algorithm people learn It legit was the first one we learned, the first algorithm written on the blackboard by the professor (this was in the 2000s but the first algorithm lessons were on blackboard and paper!) Probably because something simpler linear like "find the minimum value in a list" is too dull as an algorithm example
