Random() Functions Is Not Random

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of programming languages to call these functions "random" when they're about as random as my aunt Gertrude's weekly bingo schedule! 🙄 These so-called "random" functions are LITERALLY just deterministic algorithms in disguise, honey! Feed them the same seed, and they'll spit out the exact same sequence EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The BETRAYAL! It's like ordering a "surprise" meal but getting the same chicken sandwich for the 57th time. JUST CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE - pseudorandom! The Matrix kid knows what's up!

Should I Change School

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.
