Not being able to implement huffman compression or a quicksort or binary search, or a jump gate after knowing what you need to achieve... well, that means you lost that gleam in your eye you had back in kindergarten.

This is utterly stupid. I am an undergraduate student, claiming to be 
quite a good programmer. I have never implemented one of those, yet I 
can produce proper library & application code... why? Oh..seems like 
someone else solved this already, and I can head forward to the solution 
of my actual problem, without having to care about the obstacles that 
might be in my if I haven't had a pre-made solution.

Wait.. this is kindergarten? I wonder how you pay your rent and earn 
money for food...oh well..you wouldn't need to, when you're in 
kindergarten..

Kind regards,
Alex
