Explore fundamental algorithms through practical examples and clear explanations in this 53-minute conference talk from NDC Copenhagen 2025. Discover how to overcome the intimidation factor when encountering algorithmic solutions like Dijkstra's algorithm on Stack Overflow or Reddit, and learn to understand what algorithms actually do rather than just memorizing their names. Break down complex concepts like weighted graphs and nodes into digestible components, and see how algorithms power everything from network routing to autocorrect functionality. Gain insights into why understanding algorithms helps you build better software, debug subtle issues, and tackle coding challenges like Advent of Code with confidence. Transform your approach to algorithmic thinking by learning not just what algorithms do, but how they accomplish their tasks through step-by-step explanations and real-world applications.
