You Can't Fake Timing

You can fake a lot on an instrument.
Tone, volume, even a wrong note played with conviction.

You can't fake timing.

Rush it and everyone feels it
before they can name it.
Drag it and the whole room sags.

Timing isn't speed.
It's knowing exactly where the beat is
and choosing to sit right on it.

That's a discipline you can't cram.
It's a thousand slow repetitions
until the clock lives in your hands.

Code has timing too.
Ship too early and it's wrong.
Sit on it forever and it's dead.

Learn where the beat is.
