To Be Or Not To Be: A Boolean Tragedy

Ah, the beautiful logical tautology that haunts computer science students everywhere. The function GetTheQuestion() returns (_2b || !_2b) which is literally "to be OR not to be" - Shakespeare's existential crisis rewritten in code that always evaluates to true. Paired with that ominous skull, it's basically saying "you're going to face philosophical programming questions whether you like it or not... and there's no escaping them." The Boolean expression that returns true no matter what is both the perfect joke and the perfect nightmare fuel for anyone who's ever debugged at 3 AM.
