Mike Levin’s Poetry

The Poetry of Mike Levin

Once upon a time, I wrote a lot of poetry. I was a young hotshot webmaster, and I was full of myself. I was also full of angst. I was also full of ideas. I was also full of energy. I was also full of passion. I was also full of poetry. This is it, from a Commodore Wonderland to MOZ.

• Who Let in The Bees? — we see how mediocrity eternally recurs.
• The Eighty Twenty Rule — we organize our efforts for maximum returns.
• The Lizard Tail Task — bozo bosses get replaced by more bozo bosses.
• Dueling a Mule — I first take aim on sysadmins from hell.
• Occam’s Razor — I remind myself of the best way to tackle problems.
• The Success Poem — I realize losing sleep while young is part of success.
• The Ghost Ball — I notice some underlying rules of predicting outcomes.
• Lion on The Savannah — I remind myself how foolish it is to lose focus.
• The Llama an Yak — a misguided sysadmin from hell is put in his place.
• Golden Goose — we see how clueless short-sighted bosses drive out talent.
• Satan’s Son — we see a young hotshot take on a tough old seasoned guy.
