@keithohara I found myself in the exact same situation. Too much mutable, shared ownership. Eventually I caved and fell back to Ruby in order to keep my place on the leaderboard with my students.

@jamis Just today I recommended your book to my data structures class. We made a maze and then used it to visualize the difference between a depth-first search and a breadth-first search. Thanks for writing it!

My program runs slow
Because sorting takes a 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎
Maybe even two

@ProfJohnBowers I want to know how big this hill is. What would you call x in 5x = 30?

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

Could there be just one
One master language for code
They’d call it !C

@ProfJohnBowers Is there a Christmas witch this year?

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

Hammer is to screws
As screwdriver is to nails
As I am to bugs

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

They don't vote like us
In the kingdom of the blind
They just count the eyes

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

Why are they red-black?
Since the pens were those colors
They were so ink-lined

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

We talked about binary search trees today.

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

That tree is all trunk
It is far too tall to climb
Split it into logs

@guzdial Maybe the mistake was in the original design? Nielsen writes about the ordering of these buttons: https://t.co/DNtTBTTtEw.

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

We're talking about binary trees tomorrow.

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

Are they binary?
One parent can't make children
Except by forking

@Socrative, when I log in on https://t.co/gKP7IMpql7, my account page shows up in a new tab. The launch page is still there in the original tab. Why do I need that launch page still? Why doesn't my account page just replace the launch page?

Frances Haugen is from Iowa. No, we're not related.

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

Got a big problem?
Try splitting it into two
It might not survive

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

We're talking about sorting algorithms today.

[Chris Johnson @_twodee]

They're sorted by wealth
The rich ones all look the same
I think it's the ties

@JeffSolin Also, I once read about a kid who didn't know what the opposite of a cat was, but they knew what the opposite of the opposite of a cat was.

@JeffSolin I'm out of my league, so I'll only say that buffer is an interface that affords different implementations.

I'll also add that I find myself writing !!expr in JavaScript. It's useful for turning a non-nullish value into a boolean. I wouldn't put it on a children's book either.
