Programming is ...

In the same style as the Love is ... comic, write your best Programming is ... line.

To start this off, an adaptation of a Louis Srygley quote:

[Without requirements or design, ]
Programming is ... the art of adding bugs to an empty text file.

import english

print(“Programming is ... “ + english.words[“programming”].definitions[0])

Output:

Programming is ... the path to the dark side. Programming leads to bugs, bugs lead to debugging, debugging leads to suffering.
