Stack Overflow is an online forum dedicated to programming questions. The site has over 20 million registered users, an active community and is an integral source of information for developers. Over time the website has formed its own vernacular, in which common words have been given new definitions.
Claudia creates short poems by combining original comments found on the site highlighting the dissonance between these terms of art and their layman definitions. The work ironically explores productivity in the technology community. Each line is borrowed in its entirety. All content is the user's own. Claudia works in London as an analyst and writer. @slack__overflow.
