I love how declarative style makes the important part of the code practically trivial.
If anyone needs an example to show how functional style is more concise and expressive than procedural, this could be one.

#23I could be wrong, but I believe the post that he's referring to as inspiration is this one: https://css-tricks.com/tales-of-a-non-unicorn-a-story-about-... A pretty interesting story about job titles and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.
More like a story of someone that applied for a job that asks for Javascript skills without knowing Javascript and then blamed the company, and made a blog post/rant about it, because they hired someone else that probably fits that particular position better.

#24BTW i loved your honest CV.
No exaggerating.
Re: Pure CSS FizzBuzz
#25Does this mean that CSS is now Turing-complete, or does it just mean that Turing-completeness is not required to implement FizzBuzz?

Agreed, I can't believe people are taking that blog post seriously. It's literally FizzBuzz we're talking about.

I am a front-end guy, and I end up doing UX, design, back-end, bug tickets support, managing projects and clients and even back-end.
If you try to stick to your job description, you are not going to be very helpful in the real world.

I'm fascinated by how involved people get in these kinds of stories. Hundreds of comments, and the mods been deleting a bunch. Post after post saying more or less the same thing. I need to figure out a way to channel this sentiment into an app and strike gold!

Turing completeness is not required to implement FizzBuzz. But CSS + HTML are turing complete since Rule 110 can be implemented in pure CSS + HTML.

The job description was a bit disjointed, and she chose to ignore relevant portions and focus on irrelevant ones. The company in question could have done a better job with the posting (wtf is a "B.Sc. in Design"?). On the other hand, her reaction that FizzBuzz is only for some uber CompSci geeks is nonsensical. First sentence from the Wikipedia page for FizzBuzz:
Fizz buzz is a group word game for children to teach
them about division.
