I don't get this meme. Can anyone explain what this meme means?
The meme basically shows how a non-programmer sees the Towers of Hanoi game as a fun little puzzle, while a programmer sees it as a traumatizing experience due to the recursive nature of the algorithm behind it
This is called Tower of Hanoi problem, usually introduced as main task when learning about recursion in programming
