A Debugging Poem
#post #poem
Programming is a dance so sublime,
As code lines swirl and intertwine…
But hidden deep within the strands,
Lurks a bug, elusive and grand.
We seek it out with all our might,
To fix the errors and make things right,
And in that hunt we often find,
A hidden ghost in the programmer’s mind.
For the bug, though a foe so fierce,
Can offer lessons that endear,
To the art and science of code design,
And lead us to a codebase more refined.
Lo and behold
—Ten more bugs joined the dance
The bug hunt can be a fickle game,
Fixing one can bring another to fame,
As the codebase shifts and grows,
New bugs transpire from deep below.
But fret not, for in this dance,
Each bug fixed is a step of chance,
To improve the code we’ve wrought,
And make it work as it ought.
So let us celebrate the bug’s surprise,
As we dance through the code and its guise,
For bugs will always have their way,
Still we push our code to prod anyway (wait what?)
