Return False Works In Prod
The most elegant solution to any coding problem: just return false. Who needs actual logic when you can achieve 95% accuracy by simply lying to every function call? The function literally doesn't even have a body—it's just "nope" and bounces. Technically correct is the best kind of correct, and if your stakeholders only care about that sweet 95% metric, why bother with the actual algorithm? Ship it. The beautiful irony here is that for checking prime numbers, returning false for everything actually IS a decent heuristic since most numbers aren't prime. It's like those security questions where "no" is statistically the right answer 90% of the time. Peak efficiency meets peak laziness.
