The Sacred Quatrains

Recovered from an incomplete manuscript; attribution disputed; accuracy undisputed.

I.

"When the deploy is green, and the graphs agree,
and the engineer sleepeth soundly —
hark, the TTL shall expire in the night,
and morning shall arrive unnamed."

— Nostradamus, disputed, c. 1558
II.

"Blame first the firewall, then the code, then the cloud;
blame the intern, blame the moon, blame the cache.
When the hours reach five, and the coffee runs dry,
the truth shall be spoken in a whisper: DNS."

— The Book of Uptime, Verse 4:04
III.

"Two resolvers shall differ, and lo, one shall lie.
And the user shall say 'it works on my machine.'
And the on-call shall weep, for the machine is the oracle,
and the oracle hath cached a thing most false."

— Fragment, Codex Resolveris
IV.

"A record shall be edited in haste.
The propagation shall be long.
The meeting shall be short.
The résumé shall be updated."

— attributed to an anonymous SRE, 2019
