Code 47 was started by eighteen monkeys, a burro, and four tortillas. Over the course of fourteen million years, they coalesced until they formed the superbeing known as Nicolas Lapomarda. After he single-handedly saved the world by baking forty-seven thousand fish sticks in less than twleve seconds, he decided to write a small IRC client called “Linkinus.” Code 47 was born. He traveled for many years searching for the perfect piece of code. After searching far and wide and finding nothing, he ate a banana and sat down to code. Since then, he’s not stopped coding.
