@tomw The dominant use of "algorithm" nowadays refer to some obscure, arcane, somewhat magical use of mathematics and programming to *manipulate* the masses. At least that's how the media (ab)use the term algorithm. But the term algorithm almost never occurs in parlance among developers during backend, frontend or fullstack development. I think people are actually referring to UX/UI manipulation when they use that term. Algorithm seems to be the 21st century version of "black magic".
