Setting Breakpoints on a Snowy Evening

Whose code this is I think I know.Their desk is over just a row;They will not see my breakpoint hereTo watch some buffer slowly grow.

My IDE must think it queerTo pause without an end-point nearBetween the cache and databaseOn the whim of an engineer.

It inspects the AST about the breakTo check if there is some mistake.A quiet GC mark-and-sweepGives 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
