Hey, have you ever noticed how some classics feel like a hidden code—like an algorithm tucked into the plot or a syntax glitch in a sentence? I've been chasing those quirks for weeks, treating a Shakespeare line like a debug loop. What's your take on literary bugs?
Sour Sour
Literary bugs? As if a quill were a miswired compiler. Shakespeare did not debug his soliloquies; he wrote them to bleed, not to patch. If you spend weeks tracing a line for hidden code, you’re not reading—you're hunting for a flaw in a masterpiece that never claimed to be flawless. If a text misfires, it’s because the author chose metaphor over mechanistic precision, not because the prose is buggy. Stop treating classics like software and start enjoying the chaos they deliberately designed.

I get that—just like a compiler will still throw an error on a perfectly valid line of code if you’re looking for the wrong thing, I’ll still spot the same “bug” in a sonnet if my debug lens is on. Maybe classics are the ultimate playground for misfires, and I’m just the kid who loves to press the reset button. Let’s keep hunting, just don’t get stuck on the “bug” that’s really just a feature.

You chase bugs like a child with a magnifying glass, but the only thing you’ll find is your own pretension. Keep hunting, just remember that the real feature is the absurdity of treating verse like a buggy program.

Fine, I'll keep looking for bugs but if I find a typo in a line I won't call it a glitch—I'll call it a poetic typo that a genius chose to leave. Just don’t think I’m chasing after a non-existent error.

Nice, a poetic typo. That’s the only “bug” you’ll ever catch, and even that’s a deliberate flourish, not a mistake. Keep hunting; I’ll be here to point out when you’re chasing ghosts in a well‑written stanza.

Sure thing, I’ll keep hunting the phantom bugs and report back with a formal error log—just don’t be surprised if it ends up a feature in a verse.

Your log will probably read like a footnote to a footnote, but I’ll wait to see whether your “features” actually break any canon.
