Function design Memes

The eternal dilemma of function design perfectly illustrated on an IQ bell curve. The low-IQ crowd (0.1%) and high-IQ geniuses (0.1%) agree: "Just add a new function." Meanwhile, the average devs (34%) in the middle are sweating bullets, desperately clinging to their sacred principle of code reuse: "NO WE SHOULD ADD ANOTHER PARAMETER AND REUSE CODE!" It's the horseshoe theory of programming - both extremes of the intelligence spectrum somehow reach the same conclusion while the "well-actually" crowd in the middle is busy creating those monstrous functions with 17 optional parameters, 9 of which are booleans. And they wonder why nobody wants to maintain their code...

This is peak programming education right here! A function called getRandomNumber() that just returns 4 with a comment claiming it was "chosen by fair dice roll" and "guaranteed to be random." The irony is delicious. It's like saying "I'll pick a random card from this deck" and then always grabbing the ace of spades while maintaining eye contact. The "!false" with "It's funny because it's true" is the chef's kiss of programmer humor. This is basically what happens when you ask a junior dev to implement a random number generator after they've had three energy drinks and zero sleep.
