The screen glows bright in the dark of night, The room is quiet, the code feels right. Typing fast to build something new, Hoping the logic will pull me through. Errors show up, red on the screen, But I fix the bugs, making it clean. When the code runs, and the app is done, It feels like a quiet battle won.
