Big O Notation

Do you use it?

Yes.

Riiight. :icon_rolleyes:

Does anyone use it and give some real life examples of where they used it?

In many a code review I've used both time and space complexity with variants of Big-O to quickly prove that an algorithm won't scale as well as the application needs.

Same exact answer.

If you want a real life example: every single piece of code I've written!
