Green checkmarks on the pipeline
Nobody reads the diff
Twenty thousand generated lines
Shipped before the coffee hits

The senior said “this feels wrong”
But velocity looked fine
So we buried intuition
Under dashboards and compile time

We lost the map years ago
Now we worship throughput graphs
And every sprint review feels like
A séance with math

Merge and believe
Merge and believe
If the tests are green
Then nobody grieves

Merge and believe
Merge and believe
We don’t understand the machine
We just feed the stream

Context windows full of fragments
Architectures made of fog
Microservices breeding blindly
Like a recursive god

The juniors prompt entire backends
The seniors monitor decay
Everyone’s a systems engineer
No one knows the system anyway

Approve
Deploy
Rollback
Repeat
Another abstraction
Another obsolete elite

We traded comprehension
For predictive autocomplete

Who wrote this?
Unknown.
Why does it work?
Unknown.
Can we maintain it?
Ship it!

Merge and believe
The new industrial creed
Confidence simulated
By probabilistic dreams

Merge and believe
Till the stack collapses underneath
And somewhere deep inside the logs
A real engineer still screams
