I thought getting cute with import-hooks was probably the most creative possible way to get fired, but I see now that this was naive. My only regret is that the codec regex probably prevents using stuff like "μtf8" to really troll people properly, so now I'm going to have to use import hooks, preprocessors, and sys.settrace to monkey-patch every function to the previously called one, while swapping stdout and stderr every 17 minutes.

I remember that I wanted to implement a python module that would improve upon the builtin Django groups. So following a tradition of adding ex to the end of the existing name, I named my module "groupsex". After taking a peek at it I decided to rename it to groups2 instead :)

Not python but literally yesterday I had do a double take when I saw https://github.com/janestreet/sexplib

I was introduced to S-Expressions a few decades ago yet it is still the case that 100% of the time I pronounce 'SEXP' as 'SEX-P'

There are also seeeeeveral LOVE2D libraries with overtly sexual names. The most egregious example that comes to mind is the (now defunct compat library) "AnAL." There's also HUMP, Pölygamy, Swingers, Adult Lib (debatable but close enough), Gspöt, Möan.lua, fLUIds (also debatable, but there's a clear theme here), and yaoui.

10 years ago this was just a joke, but today, now that we're finally agile enough so that any disorganized jumble of completely unreviewed and unversioned notebooks might suddenly become a production pipeline? Why let a little thing like critical errors halt the execution of that perfect nightmare you've been working on! The only problem is that the database still won't let you shove a string into an integer slot, but data-science is looking forward to switching over to spreadsheets completely as soon as we can migrate the data from redshift.
