Comment on Boston and Bermuda

The cruise ships still make their runs, usually in the spring and fall, and they remain popular. But if you’re going by air, today your options are JetBlue or a tiny upstart called BermudAir, both using small jets.

I work with that tiny startup! Bermuda Air has been a fantastic partner for us developing automated routing/alerting for pilots, dispatchers, and ops.

We even got to do some work during the big hurricane season last year. Pretty special to see your code operating in that real of a real-world application.

That sounds like a fascinating application of some more esoteric CS algorithms. Which ones did you end up using for that?

Oh all kinds! You never know where a CLRS book will find use. You'd also be suprised how bad real data is, and how many basic things are just broken in open source code.
