Unhandled Promise Rejection

Turning an error message into a poem

A partial screenshot of the debug log of the application. A part of a message is highlighted in yellow (“waiting for 1 promises before fetching”) — The image belongs to the author

I cannot help but observe the outright abandonment Down, deep into the darkness of your limits Gently exploring the unqualified, the unlimited This conviction is not painless Your promise is exceptionally awful Never forget the wrenching decision Your reticence, like an absolute authority Brief and narrow-minded Generous but weak in your illusion

Thinking of the repudiation, I see the unequivocal signs My determination makes you shiver And I mourn the possibility of another setback

Lately, when I try to start a certain application on my computer, it shows an error. Closing and restarting the application seems to temporarily resolve the problem.

Since it’s been happening every time I turn my PC on again, I decided to finally pay some attention to what the error message was saying.

I didn’t understand much, but I found the error message (Unhandled Promise Rejection) poetic.

Are programmers poets too?

Maybe they want to write poetry but end up writing computer code. Who knows.

I wrote this poem thinking of the broken promises and rejection in relationships. But, if the application could understand me, I would dedicate the poem to it too.
