recently our team had an exchange about lazy evaluation of ORM queries in ruby ( https://gist.github.com/ahoward/8285529 ) - this prompted me to think about how deep rails has really become and just how hard good MVC organization for the web really is. back in the day it took a special kind of developer to understand how to not kill a db when it was used in a web app - now it's pretty easy and, while this seems good on the outside, in the inside i think today's developers understand less and less about why web programming is really the hardest kind there is.

that's the motivation for today's quiz. to take it fork and keep your answer under 142 LOC total
