A quiet rebellion against digital waste.
Open tools for intentional digital care.
PoetryCoding is not a method. It is a stance.
We code as we write poetry:
— with restraint,
— with reverence for what is said and what is left unsaid,
— with care for every word, every space, every silence.
Code is not merely a tool. It is a gesture.
A gesture that can be violent… or tender.
That can accumulate… or release.
That can forget… or remember.
PoetryCoding chooses the latter.
It refuses digital excess.
It honors broken links without erasing them (erabytse-tomb).
It protects without locking away (erabytse-veil).
It cleans without judgment (erabytse-sweep).
This is not “pretty” code.
This is just code.
PoetryCoding™ is a movement founded by erabytse.
It belongs to everyone who believes coding can be an act of care.
