A screenshot shows Python code that prints out a chess board for different opening moves, followed by a text-message exchange. One person complains that coding chess takes forever and asks how many lines of code it is; the punchline is the absurdly huge answer, 2,605,200. It is used as a reaction to overcomplicated code or someone taking an unnecessarily long time to do something simple.
