Prose and Code

Isolated, yet together we stand, Containers across the land. Images built, layers stacked high, Orchestrated by Kubernetes in the sky. Dockerfile defines my fate, Port mappings at the gate. Volume mounts preserve my state, While networks let us communicate. In this containerized domain, Microservices shall reign.

Black screen glows in dimly lit room, Cursor blinks, awaiting doom. Commands typed with practiced grace, Terminal, my favorite place. Grep and awk, sed and find, Unix tools, peace of mind. Pipes connect, streams that flow, Shell scripting, all I know. GUI? No thanks, not for me, Command line sets me free.

Red, green, refactor cycle spins, TDD is where it begins. Unit tests guard every function, Integration tests in conjunction. Mock the data, stub the call, Test coverage, catch it all. CI pipeline runs the suite, Green checkmarks, oh so sweet. Code without tests is code in fear, With tests, the path is clear.

Distributed ledger, trust in math, Consensus on a cryptographic path. Blocks chained together, immutable state, Decentralized networks, sealed by fate. Proof of work, or proof of stake, Mining blocks, fortunes to make. Smart contracts execute with precision, In trustless systems, our vision. Whether bubble or revolution true, Blockchain philosophy breaks through.

I push my changes to the cloud, My commits speak, both clear and loud. Each merge a dance, each branch a road, In repositories, I store my code. Rebase or merge? The age-old fight, Both paths lead to the same insight. Version control, my safety net, No line of code shall I forget. So here's my push, my final plea: Git, please don't fail me.
