It’s a game for kids!

  Kids get infinite registers and no restrictions on stack ordering. Programmers are constrained to solving it with one register and restrictions on stack put operations.

  It’s even called tower of Hanoi because of the Vietnam war flashbacks.

      I had enough colleagues unable to type exactly what they asked me into whatever search engine they preferred to accept your statement. If you don’t know how to use a search engine go ask for another job.

      “Hey pancake, how do I run all tests via gradle?”

      Open your browser, head to Google and type “run all tests in gradle”

      “Oh, nice. Thank you for your help!”

      And the next day the game starts all over again.

    As it should be, there’s way too much reengineering of the wheel. Let the big brains of the past do the heavy lifting

  Before studying CS, I recognized it as ‘the bioware puzzle’. They were probably copying their own scribbles fron back then.

  Haskell was the hardest, but it looked the most beautiful.

    That pretty much sums that language up

      In order to write a haskell program, you must first write the corresponding haskell program.

      Strange. I find the language hideous, most likely because it resembles math, or maybe because I'm already used to the C-like syntax.

      Functional programming flips your brain around backwards, but shader programming will turn it inside-out.

    hanoi :: Integer -> a -> a -> a -> [(a, a)]
    hanoi 0 _ _ _ = []
    hanoi n a b c = hanoi (n-1) a c b ++ [(a, b)] ++ hanoi (n-1) c b a

  Oh but we don’t play it, we put lighting into rocks and trick them into doing it.

  Did you guys find this hard? There are only four possible ways to move a ring, two of which are disallowed by the rules. Out of the remaining two, one of them is simply undoing what you just did.
