Bellman-Ford Algorithm Walks Away

Text on the meme

Shortest path Bellman-Ford algorithm Bellman-Ford algorithm Edges with negative weight

What it means

A four-panel image shows people walking past one another outside a building, with labels comparing a person to the shortest path and Bellman-Ford algorithm, while the final panel labels another person as edges with negative weight. The joke is that Bellman-Ford handles negative-weight edges, making the algorithm dramatically react to them as if they were an unpleasant person or situation. It is used as a programming and computer science reaction meme about graph algorithms and negative weights.
