Cs student Memes

Computer science students everywhere just collectively gasped! Dijkstra's algorithm—the holy grail of finding shortest paths in graphs since 1956—supposedly dethroned?! That's like finding out gravity was just Newton's practical joke. For decades, CS students have been implementing this algorithm in their sleep, only to discover their entire academic foundation might be built on computational quicksand. Next thing you'll tell me is that P equals NP and we can all go home early! For the uninitiated: Dijkstra's algorithm efficiently finds the shortest path between nodes in a graph (think finding the fastest route on Google Maps). It's been the backbone of pathfinding for over 60 years. Having it proven non-optimal would send shockwaves through theoretical computer science—hence the perfect shocked face reaction!
