If Shakespeare were a backend developer, his sonnets would look a little different.

Binary Bard

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more bug-free. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, But thy uptime is guaranteed, ninety-nine point three.

Sonnet 404

Not found, the love I sought in thee, A broken link, a missing key. I query the database of my heart, But return null, right from the start.

Sonnet 500

Internal Server Error, my soul does cry, The logs are empty, I know not why. I restart the service, I check the stack, But alas, my love, you won’t come back.
