at a previous workplace, every new hire would discover the handwritten bubblesort in our codebase, freak out, and submit a pull request to fix it.

and every new hire got taken to the whiteboard to learn about sort algorithm performance: bubblesort is O(n) in the best case.

and in our codebase, the data being sorted fit that best case (the data was already sorted or almost sorted).
