Where was this sign, and how long do they anticipate the lessons will take? Sounds like a fair trade for child minding services 😂

@mightyspaceman The poster uses of the "C" font from the cover of K&R "The C Programming Language". That is subtle but classically brilliant.

@mightyspaceman Must be the question to a clue in the "Before and After" category on Jeopardy!

Now, what might be that clue? 🤔

@mightyspaceman Also, is it bothering anyone else that this is not cyan ink on white paper?

@mightyspaceman I'll do it to ALL of them.

I'm evil.

@mightyspaceman Ha! I learnt C when I was younger. Did me no harm.

@mightyspaceman @spaf I wrote more LoC in C than any other language.

They made me learn Pascal, back in the day. I still haven't recovered.

@mightyspaceman They'd have to be there a long time to learn it, but I daresay the staff could give them some pointers.

"How did you learn pointer math! What kind of obscene deviant would.... it's a gateway! Next thing you're going to be using bitwise manipulation and goto statements!"

If you don't teach your children about proper flow control, someone else will.
