Someone complains that C++ doesn't support switch statements on strings, and the response is the most passive-aggressive "skill issue" I've ever seen. Instead of just accepting this limitation like a normal person, they went full galaxy brain and created preprocessor macros to literally hack switch-on-strings into existence.

The macro magic turns SWITCH(prompt) into a glorified if-else chain that looks like a switch statement. It's technically impressive and completely unhinged at the same time. The cases are checking against literal strings like "Who are you?" and "No, really?" with AI chatbot names as outputs (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini).

This is the programming equivalent of being told "you can't do that" and responding by building a Rube Goldberg machine just to prove you technically can. Would anyone actually use this in production? Absolutely not. Is it hilarious? Absolutely yes.
