I Can’t Cry Anymore (A Web Developer’s Tale)

(2:50:45 PM) Miles Rausch: Have you ever seen a baby bird die?
(2:51:01 PM) Coworker: no… but i have a strange feel­ing i will soon
(2:52:39 PM) Miles Rausch: Each change requires some rewrit­ing. Some­times it destroys beau­ti­ful code, some­times it cre­ates more beau­ti­ful code. But, there will come a point when it will cre­ate evil code, code for­got­ten by God, warmly embraced by Satan, that will taint and poi­son the site.
(2:52:42 PM) Miles Rausch: Be ye warned.
(2:54:08 PM) Coworker: i’m cry­ing. i hope you’re happy.
(2:54:24 PM) Miles Rausch: I cried. The day I watched that baby bird die.
(2:54:27 PM) Miles Rausch: I can’t cry anymore.
