Spot The Python Purist

THE ABSOLUTE DRAMA of data scientists SCREAMING at the confused cat who just doesn't get it! 💅 NumPy is THE BACKBONE of scientific computing in Python, and these people are having a COMPLETE MELTDOWN because someone dared to pronounce it "num-pee" instead of "num-pie." The AUDACITY! The HORROR! As if mispronouncing a library name is going to crash the entire matrix! Meanwhile, the cat is just sitting there, judging everyone with that blank stare like "humans and their programming problems, I literally eat kibble for a living."

The galaxy brain moment when you convince yourself that spending 48 hours automating a task that takes 20 minutes is somehow "efficient." But let's be real—we're not doing it to save time. We're doing it because manually repeating the same task feels like psychological torture, and writing that script gives us the same dopamine hit as solving a puzzle. Sure, we'll never recoup those hours, but our fragile programmer ego can't handle the thought of doing something "the easy way." It's not laziness, it's... "future-proofing."

Standing up for snake_case in a room full of camelCase enthusiasts is the programming equivalent of this Norman Rockwell painting. The brave soul dares to speak the unspeakable truth that underscores are just... better. Python devs nodding silently in the back while JavaScript folks clutch their pearls. The naming convention war continues, and this hero's willing to die on that hill with perfect readability and no RunTogetherWords. The real question is: who invited the SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE guy?
