I was wondering almost exactly the same thing. For me it was “I wonder which algorithms would light up the ‘this is beautiful’ part of the brain.” I can think of several algorithms that blew me away with their beauty when I first saw them, and several that while useful are like, “Ugh…”
Are they the same areas for “beauty” in computer science?
