Better Error Messages - Haiku poetry
In Japan, they have apparently replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft
error messages with Haiku poetry. With their strict construction rules
(each poem has only 17 syllables: 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second,
5 in the third), Haikus are used to communicate timeless messages, often achieving
a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity.
