On: Sorting Algorithm Cheat Sheet

[CzechTech]

Pretty much every job? I'd say about 10%. With all the web and web-adjacent jobs around, maybe even less. Most stdlibs are already written in a sensible way, so calling "sort" usually means calling quicksort. Most people just do not care, they have tickets and bosses to worry about.

Absolutely. While every job will depend on sort, so many of them will have negligible benefit by changing the least efficient algorithm to the most.

And most of them just use a native language sort that does something relatively smart out of the box.

It's good to write all of these at don't point so you understand why things are inefficient.
