Finding Stories in Code: A Tech Poetry Journey

Every function has a plot:
an input, a transformation, an output.
Beginning, middle, end.

Every variable is a character
whose value changes through the run.
Some persist. Some are garbage collected.

The best code reads like prose:
clear intention, no wasted lines,
a story anyone can follow.

The worst reads like academic jargon:
technically correct, emotionally dead,
a puzzle no one asked to solve.

I write code the way I write essays:
draft, refactor, read aloud.
If it doesn't flow, it doesn't ship.

This is my 2025 resolution:
find the poetry in the terminal.
Write systems that sing.
