Path-manipulation Memes

Someone really woke up and chose VIOLENCE against the filesystem API. Like, bestie, calling .filename() eight times in a row isn't going to make it magically more accurate—it's still the same filename, just with extra steps and existential dread! This is what happens when you're so deep in debugging hell that you start questioning reality itself. "Maybe if I ask it REALLY nicely... eight times... it'll finally tell me the REAL filename?" Spoiler alert: it won't. The path object isn't hiding some secret ultra-accurate filename from you on attempt number seven. It's giving "I tried turning it off and on again but make it code." The desperation is palpable, the logic is absent, and somewhere a code reviewer is weeping into their coffee.
