I like documentaries about climbing Mt Everest, but I absolutely hate watching people climb El Capitan. Then I realized that sometimes in software I'm climbing a cliff that's too tall to climb in one session, so I have to carry a tent and backpack with food and water. I hate this kind of programming more than anything, because it comes from not having a high-level enough runtime to support me in big corner turns. Or not having invested enough time in creating a layer I can build on. Anyway I'm in the middle of one of those corner-turns now. Hell has not broken loose although at times it looks like it might have. I'm being sure not to create another mess that needs to be cleaned up in the future. Not stressful, but I'd rather be doing anything but this. :-)

After Betsy
Every night a drove of us leaves
Our work building
And clot the lot’s exit up
Till emptied and distant,
No different when I’m stuck
With my key in the ignition,
Not yielding in spite
Of my turning, and as now
The only person
Except for me here, a man
Has knocked on my windshield,
Assuming I’m stuck and asks
To enter my car. He starts it
As if he freed the key
And looks at me
And says I’m a car thief.
To get home safely,
You’ll need me.
I agree.
I may stop somewhere
Away from work
Or stall, on that clotted street
Where everyone’s gone.
