The truth is both groups are just people staring at screens, except one gets portrayed with dramatic lighting and the other gets portrayed accurately. Next time someone says they're a "hacker," just picture them in a beige room with wood paneling from 1982.

BEHOLD! The Gulf of Mexico has been GLORIOUSLY renamed using environment variables! Because nothing says "international diplomacy" like renaming an entire body of water with a string interpolation! 💀 The f-string format with that os.environ['MY_GLORIOUS_COUNTRY'] variable is the PEAK of passive-aggressive geopolitics.
