Serious question: Is “Directed Acyclical Graph” really an unknown term for people? The author harped on it pretty hard, but what it is…is pretty apparent, no? I mean, I’ve encountered the term often, but I don’t think I had any need to look it up…

Yeah, I'd be pretty wary of a dev who needed clarification on DAGs...

Agreed. Why would a person need to look it up when the name literally describes it. Directed? Means connections are in a single direction. Acyclic? A-cyclic = non-cyclical, doesn't have cycles. Graph is... well a graph.

Which part does the author think an average programmer should struggle with?
