she was a girl for a, b, c, d, e in \ itertools.product(range(10), repeat=5): he was a boy for a in range(10): for b in range(10): for c in range(10): for d in range(10): for e in range(10):

A young man and woman stand outside while Python code overlays label the girl with a compact Cartesian-product loop and the boy with deeply nested loops. The joke contrasts an elegant, efficient programming solution with a repetitive brute-force approach, using the familiar “she was a girl, he was a boy” lyric format as a reaction to different coding styles.
