That is so fetch!

In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?

I looked through the gifs and ended up understanding even less than before.

They need to stop trying to make fetch a thing.

As a lover or Raft Consensus Algorithm, now I have to watch Mean Girls I guess.

Which movie would you use to explain Paxos?

“Chat generate me an explanation blog posts on the Raft consensus algorithm… but explain it through mean girls”
