<Black and White Chef Parody> Black and White Developers: The Coding Class War

Inspired by the recently trending Netflix show <Black and White Chefs: The Culinary Class War>, and because it's so popular, I've created a developer parody version with Claude / Gemini.

Some of the AI-generated ideas in the middle were so good, I thought it would make an amazing drama.

Most of the content is the result of giving the AI the original content and memes and telling it to get creative... (I didn't do it, haha).
