    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.
