Unnecessary complexity Memes

That smug face when you implement addition using recursion instead of the + operator because regular math is for peasants. Sure, it'll crash with a stack overflow on large numbers, but that's a problem for future you after your code review. Bonus points for making the function signature look deceptively simple while hiding your algorithmic flexing inside.

Programmer 1: *writes simple ternary operator to check if a number is odd or even* Random person: "gator hugger" Programmer 2: "That's JS's ternary operator, python works differently." Programmer 1: *creates unholy abomination that calls JavaScript from Python just to use a ternary operator* This is the equivalent of driving to another country because you prefer their traffic lights. Modern programming is just finding increasingly complex ways to avoid learning syntax differences.

Forget complex algorithms! This Python developer decided to outsource the "is odd number" check to ChatGPT. Just casually burning through API credits to determine if a number has a remainder when divided by 2. The function makes a full API call, parses the response, and checks if the answer contains "yes" - all to replace a simple return number % 2 != 0 . Peak computational efficiency! 💸

Ah, the elegant art of being simultaneously clever and ridiculous. This Python function is the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly—with style. Instead of the boring old num % 2 == 0 check that peasant programmers use, this galaxy-brain developer created a string "eovdden" and indexes into it using num % 2 as the position, followed by another 2 (which does absolutely nothing). The string is cleverly arranged so position 0 gives "even" and position 1 gives "odd" — making this the most unnecessarily complex even/odd checker in existence. It's like building a Rube Goldberg machine when a light switch would do. And those sunglasses emojis? They know exactly what they've done. Pure chaotic evil masquerading as code.
