/* Original Poetry by: Chris Sopher Created : 2/10/2025 Program : Run Build Developer : California Chris Description: A poetic compilation of logic and chaos, unfolding in the mind of a software engineer trapped between art and execution. Watch the poem build, break, and debug itself in endless loops of creativity.

I.trace(errorLogs.ofThoughts()); I.dig(stackTrace); // Was it my fault, or was the server just down? // Step 4: The Breakthrough // Somewhere between midnight and madness, // I find the missing semicolon; // like an ancient rune, it unlocks the gates. const result = API.response(); if (result) { poetry.render(); sanity.deploy(); console.log('Build completed successfully.'); } return 'A kitten picture'; // Because after all that, this is what the world really wanted.
