Usually the most straightforward solution is good enough. And when you want to improve the performance, it’s rarely about time complexity.

"ah sure, I'll solve it in n log(n) for you with an obscure algorithm because n² is too slow for your 1000 customers, even though there's no perceived difference for n<10⁷."

O(n!^n!^)

It works really well, until n=3, which takes a while. Don’t ask about n=4.

Ok. What about n=5?

That does seem to be a tad inefficient.

Acshually, in the context of O(N^2) N can be seen to constantly be equal to N and thus, as a constant, we can ignore it in our O analysis.

Yes, my bubble sort does run in O(1)

Bubble sort? This wizard talk shall not pass.

My god, some of us can't read past select queries and v-lookup ruins.

On a Friday no less.

We will also accept “I’ll file a ticket under the tech debt epic” (which will never get picked up unless/until it causes a prod outage/SLA violation)
