Therapy But Make It Python

When the age-old Python vs Java debate gets settled by... string comparison. Someone asked for proof that Python is better than Java, and they got it - technically. In the Python interpreter, 'python' > 'java' evaluates to True because in lexicographical comparison 'p' comes after 'j' in the alphabet. Congratulations, the greatest programming language war has been resolved with literal string comparison. Next up: solving tabs vs spaces by measuring their physical width with a ruler.

The cool kid on the right just discovered you can multiply strings in Python with * operator. Meanwhile, the purist on the left is having an existential crisis because in most other languages, this would trigger a compiler error and possibly a stern code review comment. But Python's like "Yeah, 'br' * 10? Here's your 'brrrrrrrrr'. You're welcome."

The duality of Python developers is simply *chef's kiss*. First, they're boldly proclaiming Java's death while smugly typing away in their minimalist editors. Then reality hits—they're drowning in dependency hell, frantically Googling "why ModuleNotFoundError when module clearly installed," and questioning their life choices as they stare into the abyss of nested error traces. It's the programming equivalent of talking trash about someone's basketball skills right before missing an open layup. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one—criticizing Java's verbosity while simultaneously spending three hours figuring out why their virtual environment is suddenly pretending pip doesn't exist. Pro tip: Next time you feel the urge to mock another language, make sure your own house isn't a flaming dumpster fire first.

STOP SHOUTING AT ME, PYTHON! I GET IT ALREADY! My terminal is having an absolute meltdown because I dared to use 'M' instead of 'ME'. The audacity of this language to flood my entire screen with the SAME. EXACT. WARNING. It's like dating someone who keeps reminding you about that ONE time you forgot their birthday. Just replace the damn 'M' silently and move on with your life! Why must you be so dramatic?! 🙄
