I hereby challenge you to a programming poetry smackdown.

Give me your best poem. Here are two of my favorites:

Learning to code: a haiku

Is this thing working?
Nope, I clearly broke something
This may take a while

There once was a curious person,
Who wanted learn of recursion.
They searched Wikipedia,
It couldn't be easier.
For recursion, please see 'recursion'.

[Andrew Brown 🇨🇦]

Control+C does not work for me

shebang shebang
my eyes hurt from typing
shebang shebang
my mind hurts from thinking
shebang shebang
my butt hurts from sitting
shebang shebang
my heart hurts shes leaving
shebang shebang
I'm coding instead of sleeping
shebang shebang

Also for those who may not know what's a shebang (!#)

[Davyd McColl]

(not totally original, but I've actually used this for a 404 page):
The end point you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist

[Phil Ashby]

Nice :)

Had this as mine for a few years: ashbysoft.com/whoops

[Ryan Rousseau]

alloc, dealloc
managing memory, cake
segmentation fault

[Bhupesh Varshney 👾]

Might have to revisit this thread, but for now:

Please do not overreact
But I am over React.
Tried to take a new angle
but I just couldn't wrangle
Version 1 vs Version 2
now I guess it's on to Vue.

@laurieontech @molly_struve @SaraSoueidan When I speak in a room I do not feel doom or gloom. But when I speak upon a stage I can feel my nerves engage.

Brain brain gone away, these bugs will forever stay.

It’s broke it, it’s fixed, who knows what I did.

[Frederik 👨‍💻➡️🌐 Creemers]

Roses are #F00
Violets are #00F
I've coded myself into a corner,
because hex codes don't rhyme;

[Kirill Shestakov]

Begin your day, feels okay,
Click-clack, fix a bug,
const and var, review a PR,
And deploy the front-end at the very end.

Time to go home and disappear,
[INSERT YOUR LIFE HERE]

[Andrew McKeever]

Why is this broken?
Maybe I'll run it again?
Well, why did that work?

[Brandon Dimperio]

Roses are red, Violet is blue. I learned F# and you can too.

[Aadi Bajpai]

I do not work out
Stuff doesn't work out for me
This is not a haiku

@OdeToCode Some time in late '94
A C app did dump its whole core -
Shared memory effects
But without a mutex
Nor a wait on a free semaphore

Classes, Abstractions, and DRY - things that made me look clever
Closures, Curry, and Composition - things that made my whole life better

[Frankie]

How does it work?
I will open the black box
It's written in C

[John Paul Ada]

Bookmarking this for the day a brilliant programming poem idea pops up in my head.
