    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?

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