      You can't quite sing the poem to the tune, and they're not exactly the same subject matter, but I feel like the vibes of both go well together:

      Today’s poem is called ‘Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis’.
      Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis
 
He’s swapped designer jeans and flashy cars
For designer spacesuits and trips to Mars
Where he watches Earth turn on its axis
With its stupid people paying taxes
He’s indulging all his whims and vices
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis
 
He’s got plans to end world poverty
Once his new hair’s lost its novelty
He’s dropping rap tracks and dissing pronouns
His kids have names they cannot pronounce
He’s choosing who his next young wife is
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis
 
He’s an outspoken champion of free speech
With a mute button in easy reach
He’s building an army of online abusers
More spambots equals more X-users
Cause he’s been left too long to his own devices
If truth be told, he’s not the nicest 
I hope he comes down with gastroenteritis 
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis

      I've been writing a series on agentic coding (in Elixir) and they've been trickling out each Monday for the last few weeks. Much of the inspiration originated from chats with other engineers this year (and several deep chats on the `#llm-assisted-elixir` channel over on the Elixir Slack). Enjoy!
