I don't get this meme. Can anyone explain what this meme means?
This is called Tower of Hanoi problem, usually introduced as main task when learning about recursion in programming
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
