Poem- “Bad Numbers”

“Bad Numbers”

You have bad words.

You “know” what those are.

But, you also have bad numbers.

You do not know what those are.

Let me give some information about the subject.

Programmers sometimes use a word like “unlimited” for work.

Words like “unlimited” and “limitless” are bad numbers.

Do not make me change my mind about this.

You know EXACTLY what’s wrong with those words.

“Unlimited” and “limitless” are also body inflation terms.

Maybe a character in a body inflation story will see “beyond the canyon”.

It’s an organized mess, it’s a critical mass.

A hero can still reveal the strings and pull them back.

Keep in mind that innocent cartoons have body inflation and weight gain.

Still, a word like UNLIMITED is a bad number.

You cannot make a good program with bad numbers.

Bad numbers are the cause of bugs and errors.

Maybe a number doesn’t fit.

Maybe a number doesn’t show.

Maybe a number doesn’t “count”.

Maybe a number doesn’t label.

Artists and writers create imaginary sizes.

You can see this in abstract art.

Some professionals have calculation for less exact figure.

But, if a video game programmer is not careful, he can get sucked in.

Just a program is the cause for frustration and pain and suffering.

You use light to create TV.

But what happens when emotions disturb light against feelings?
