Algorithms
How complexity, data structures, and time really scale.
Algorithms are about more than interview questions. We study how they behave on real hardware — the cost of a cache miss, the shape of the data, and why asymptotic analysis is a scaling argument, not a speed argument.

Big-O Measures Scaling, Not Speed
O(n) says nothing about how fast your code is today — it predicts how it behaves as the input grows. What complexity analysis is really for, and when it misleads.
