My take on it:

I think learning how to personaly type the algorithm, nowadays is a cool party trick, is really fun for the doer, and the observer. But the utility of that has diminished due to ai and agents.

However I think understanding algorithms is extremely important. Knowing why merge sort is faster than bubble sort. That visceral knowledge where you actually took a stack of papers and just sorted them with both algorithms and experienced the difference in speed.

The awareness of how algorithms perform I believe is super important. Having the feeling for that would give one the ability to better choose what to use, and the ability to make an strategic decision on what to use based on true understanding I think is really valuable nowadays.


Really cool app, got the word in 5 tries pretty bad lol!

The share results seems dependant of what apps I have installed. Would be nice to have an option to be able to share the results as an image you could save, that would work for most platforms.


Thanks for the feedback. Next on the list :)


Idk if I'm just too cautious, But the GitHub OAuth scope requests write access to public repositories including settings, webhooks, and deploy keys. I wanna check my rank but that level of access is scary


Let me see if I can remove some of those fine grained permissions - we definitely dont need any of that.
