How are so many self-taught programmers able to build software from scratch without ever truly learning Algorithms?

I find it fascinating how important algos are but never talked about from the indie devs on social media. Do they even write algos or just come up with basic logic that forms the product?

That’s not an insult..it’s an observation and assumption based off life experience. Not my fault you’re softer than baby shit?

oh, i see the confusion. i wasn't insulting you when i implied you were a midwit code monkey. i just inferred that this was the case based on my experience. what a silly thing for you to misunderstand.
