Diary of a Programmer 29: lgtm

there are invisible conversations
happening in slack.
behind closed doors.
in private channels.
but don’t worry. I don’t give a shit
anymore. close one too many doors
and I stop trying to open them.
paint a knob on a wall.
it’s fine. I will play the part
of a coyote and howl
at the moon as if it were the eye
of my long lost mother.
as if I ever really loved her.
as if she ever really loved me.
as if we were ever really one
big happy family.
as if we were ever really one
big happy team.
it’s okay just write what you want
in slack and paint a picture
of progress that looks like
an Acme rocket or the fucking
roadrunner but for god sakes
leave me out of these stupid conversations
if you’re not going to include me
in the first place. I’ll just add
a thumbs up emoji to the post
and a comment that says: lgtm.
