This is not a hard problem once you wrap your head around it. It is the earliest that some programmers learn about recursion which has a lot of pitfalls and can be frustrating at times.
Ah okay, that’s where the trauma comes from then, perhaps? 😅 Just being new to a concept and perhaps starting out with a problem that is a little too big while at the same time learning the concept?
I feel like it’s maybe a bit too much to say that it’s a trauma. The Vietnam-flashback picture is just very fitting, because the puzzle is called “Towers of Hanoi” (Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam).
A lot of programmer memes seem to be about first-year compsci students that just want to build video games, and don’t really like math. For those people, sure, algorithms could be a bit of a rude awakening.

Ah right. 😁
Thank god my first time was building a dynamic tree with loads of metadata and sorting from database records and not some strange game 😐
You can easily tell if you did something wrong with Towers of Hanoi.
You can with a bitchy customer as well 💖
