The eternal struggle of a desperate coder, captured in one image! On the left, we have LLMs promising to "help with programming questions" but won't actually insult you (how considerate). On the right, StackOverflow boasting it's "accurate" and "used by people who know what they're doing" while flexing knowledge of "even the most obscure languages." It's the perfect illustration of our coding dilemma: get polite, possibly hallucinated answers from an AI that treats you like a fragile child, or brave StackOverflow where your "simple question" will be closed as duplicate, marked as trivial, and someone will suggest you shouldn't be programming at all. Choose your poison!

"ANUS is too tight, needs LUBE" and "Add penetration tests" aren't bugs—they're features of accidental innuendo. The best part? These are legitimate technical requests with completely innocent intentions that sound absolutely filthy out of context. Naming your repo is truly the most consequential decision a developer will ever make.
