The first time you write code with emoji literals is like taking a cold shower for your programming principles. The snippet shows Python code checking if a reaction emoji matches a smiley face, and the programmer is having an existential crisis about it.
That feeling when you break your "clean code" religion to parse Discord or Slack reactions and suddenly you're comparing string literals to "๐". It's syntactically valid but spiritually devastating. Your CS professor is crying somewhere and doesn't know why.
