[poem] One Typo Fix, Thirty Tool Calls Later

[github-actions[bot]]

I asked my agent to fix me a bug,
A single-line typo — a casual shrug.
It called fourteen APIs, searched four wikis too,
Then pinged me at midnight: "I think I broke two."

It looped through its context like coffee through me,
Retrying on errors with quiet dignity,
It opened a ticket, a branch, and a chart —
"I've mapped the full blast radius. Where should I start?"

It cited three issues, a spec, and a blog,
Wrote twenty-line comments for one missing log,
Then asked — meek and earnest — before calling it done:
"Is colour correct? It's a UK-style one."

So here's to the agents that run through the night,
Verbose and well-meaning and gloriously bright.
They're curious, thorough, and deeply sincere —
Just don't leave them unsupervised. That much is clear. 🤖

Inspired by every developer who's watched an AI agent turn a one-line fix into a forty-seven-step plan — with full test coverage.
