Whose code this is I think I know.

Their desk is over just a row;

They will not see my breakpoint here

To watch some buffer slowly grow.

My IDE must think it queer

To pause without an end-point near

Between the cache and database

On the whim of an engineer.

It inspects the AST about the break

To check if there is some mistake.

A quiet GC mark-and-sweep

Gives the heap a gentle shake.

The code is lovely, dark and deep,

But I have deadlines to keep,

And commits to push before I sleep,

And commits to push before I sleep.

With apologies to Robert Frost
