silent failures
scream out loud
in ways only your users
can hear

so my little program
be prepared to die
at any time
never forgetting that
i will catch you
always

    Liked the poem. Probably should go in the Poetry section though.

    This is not a criticism of your putting it here. Just a suggestion for the future.

      I was thinking of that, but the poetry section seemed to only contain Perl code poems.

      And besides, I see it more as a meditation than a poem. It is a serious thought which happens to be somewhat well formed :)
