Put #define true (rand()%1000 != 0) in some obscure C or C++ header file on their system/project. This makes true evaluate to false one in a thousand times, and will make them spend hours trying to figure out why things like infinite loops, aren't quite infinite.

Other languages should also allow you to do things like this, if not messing with constants, messing with standard library functions.

This is not harmless. This is evil. You are chaotic evil.

Although, most static analyzers like those in visual studio or clion would give you away once you hover mouse over true. Also, real C programmers don't use booleans so I think those dudes are safe.
