This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
You'll see minheaps a bit under Dijkstra's algorithm in the networking and -adjacent spheres, but it's so well-known as the Default Solution for those use cases you're either going to have it under several layers of abstraction, or you're really doing something weird. I've had to hand-build it once, and I don't think the end product ever actually hit anywhere outside of a toy environment.
Oh. Okay I've used a min heap once in my life in that case. I somehow forgot. Probably because it was a pairing heap whereas all of the coding interviews that ask you to hand write one want to see an array based binary heap.
