Temporary code is usually poorly documented, poorly designed, deeply coupled, ugly code. Those are all the exact qualities that make it harder to change than high quality code. Unless you work very hard, the natural tendency is for all good code (which is correspondingly easy to change) to eventually be replaced with worse code that is harder to replace. Natural selection applies to code too and, unfortunately, the qualities that lead to longevity are often exactly opposite of the ones that lead to good code.

I wanted to creatively express my affection for my daughter, Augusta, in a way I know best. I chose Ruby for its flexibility and elegance. My hope is to introduce her to its boundless beauty someday soon using this composition.

This is a real, working, program which outputs “Augusta, we <3...
