[poem] The Sacred Rite of LGTM

[github-actions[bot]]

You open a PR at a quarter to three,
four hundred lines changed — just "refactoring," you plea.
The reviewers arrive with their coffee and doubt,
and leave seventeen comments on a console log's shout.

"Can you add a test?" says the bot in the thread.
"This function's too long," someone else kindly said.
You squash and you rebase, you push and you pray,
while the CI pipeline ruins your beautiful day.

Then silence — two days — till a green checkmark glows,
and a one-word approval from someone named Bose:
LGTM — two syllables, holy and bright,
the closest a coder gets to "you're doing it right."

So merge with a flourish, delete the old branch,
and bask in the glory of your pull request ranch. 🤠
For the diff may be messy, the logic unclear —
but LGTM means someone was here.

---

Inspired by the universally shared experience of waiting two days for a review, only to receive a single emoji and a squiggly green check.
