A Programmer's Ride

Welcome to twenty twenty Where digital illiteracy is illiteracy Cash and coins encoded binary Banks and schools running on scripts Hidden behind the telescreens is Alice the programmer; her fingers as QUIC as the data stream as she races the ARMed processor; together, they control the world unseen. Over the LAN cables, steps in her partner, he said hey Alice! want some coffee later? Tired, she smiles as she sips the warm foam from the cappuccino and pushes her chair up Down her bloodstream goes the caffeinated sugar Neurons fire up faster than optic fibre "I got it!" she screams and spits out lines of code onto the flashing screen Hands shaking, she hit ENTER murmurs flooded over her shoulder "YES! DAMN!" they all got off their chairs as the new commit flies across the data center Alice sits down with a glass of champagne trying to init shutdown on her hypervising brain as the algorithmic memories regress on just another day. -------- QUIC: The new HTTP/3 protocol developed by Google and IETF (internet engineering task force).
