If you're not doing graphics calculations by manually (as in, not abstracted away in a framework) or doing anything with big data or machine learning (which has calculus, but again, might be buried by a framework) then algebra I should be enough.

Will you ever need to simplify expressions or FOIL? No. But will you ever need to work through a coding problem with the same manner of thinking as you work through an algebra problem? Yes.
