A Love(?) Program
What are we coding here?
I don’t know
There are no requirements
No designs, no user flow.
I wouldn’t call it love though
Because then we would be guilty of
premature Romantization
Yet
I want to print this out in all caps
Log it all down
How when you say hello
The world
just melts away
How when your hands are in mine
Booleans lose their value as everything becomes true
How if what we have here were a function
I’d never want it to return
Instead just leave us in the void
Together.
Now, we’re gonna have arguments
There will be a lot of bugs because
You are not perfect, that I know
And by God, I know I’m not
But you know what
That’s okay
That it doesn’t work as expected
We’ll just call the bugs features
And go over it all
Line by line
All the weird behaviours
Yours and mine
And us
We’ll fix some,
Laugh at some
Some we’ll not correct
Just move it to done
Some we’ll leave
in progress.
There are no ifs and elses here
Okay maybe there are
A lot of ifs
Because even things
made out of pure logic
Have a lot of uncertainty
And this
This doesn’t feel logical at all
This just feels.
But this much I know
While I’m with you
I wanna stay in the loop
Unconditionally
No break statement
Let the OS complain
That the memories we create are taking too much space
That we are hogging too many resources
Hugging each other.
And Even when it all crashes down
And terminates,
this program will keep running,
In our hearts.
