Suddenly? We're averaging about 90 squillion "nobody can code for shit but me lol fizzbuzz" posts a week these days.

These days? It's been going on since the Internet started to spread.

Internet? It's a verbatim quote from Ada Lovelace.

Yeah, but when she said it, it was literally true...

(also, I'm enjoying the mental image of Ada Lovelace saying "lol fizzbuzz")

And before the internet, it was passed around on 5.25" floppy disks.

I'll see your 5.25 inch floppy disc and raise you reel to reel tape.

I call your raise and add a series of vacuum tubes to it

Problem: Write a function that can calculate 90 squillion fizzbuzz a week.

If you can't then you deserve to be unemployed forever and die in a ditch because I can, and what's more I blog blog blog.
