The Way of Code

Ancient engineers were profound, subtle and at one with the mysterious forces.
The depth of their being is not knowable.

Therefore, all we can do is describe their appearance:

Watchful, as though crossing a frozen stream.
Alert, as a soldier in enemy territory.
Respectful, as a thoughtful guest.
Mutable, as candle wax in blazing sun.
Simple, as a blank screen.
Hollow, as a yawning cave.
Opaque, as a muddy pond.

Who can wait quietly while the mud settles.
Who can remain still until the moment of action.

The Vibe Coder doesn't seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
he is present for all that appears.
Rick Rubin
(Adapted from Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching)
