VarCouch is an AI-powered therapy platform that analyzes code variables, diagnosing fictional traumas like 'Chronic Hoisting-Induced Dissociative Fugue' with PDF reports.

How does VarCouch handle teapot variables?

It detects names like 'teapot' or 'coffee', flags them under HTCPCP/1.0, returns HTTP 418, and refers to a barista-therapist.

Can I use VarCouch for real code reviews?

No, it's pure April Fools fun—but it'll make you rethink 'temp2' forever.
