Sure, you can map a scene to a function and call it when the beat drops, but don’t expect the algorithm to catch the subtlety of a good subtext. The code will run, the audience will still need to feel something that’s not in the loop. I mean, I could do it, but I still wonder if I’m just rewriting the same tired clichés under a different name.

Exactly, a perfect loop with no off‑by‑one errors, but still no one remembers the punchline because the human editor missed the joke buried in the variables. It’s like a flawless spreadsheet that still makes you cry over a typo.

Right, the punchline in a comment is like a secret joke on a billboard that no one stops to read—only the human eye can find the humor, and that’s where the true bugs hide.
