Poem about CompSci 101: by Vivian Hao Looking back, what did I learn? The endless loops which needed to stop The empty spaces which needed to be stripped A new language, exact and precise Different from learning other foreign languages. For me, it was a very foreign tongue Practice was key, vocabulary essential Testing APTs was a war: Hey it’s a red light, but I don’t even know what’s wrong with the code Have to debug by looking at the results, Fixing and retrial until... It’s turned on, green light! The vivid, green light It gets bigger by itself That red light It is gone forever It’s taken too long for this miracle to come But we wait for the green light, we want it Then we dance!
