Fun Fact
The modern shuffling algorithm used here is based on the Fisher-Yates shuffle, which produces a perfectly uniform distribution-something naive "random sort" approaches fail to do.
Historical Context
Shuffling algorithms date back to early 20th-century statistics and probability theory. The Fisher-Yates method was formalized in the 1930s and later adapted for computers, becoming a foundational technique in modern software engineering, data science, and cryptography-adjacent workflows.
