Between Bash and PowerShell, between Python and JSON, between what you write and what arrives, there is a gap. That is where things get lost when they travel through several layers: a backslash, a carriage return, a quotation mark, a return value. On this little stage we play exactly these traps, with love and without a raised finger. Every number is a cheat sheet a model can load, and every one ends with the same check: look in the result, not in what you believed you wrote.
In Morgenstern's poem, an architect steals the gaps from the fence and builds a house out of them. Windows does much the same with the gap in “Program Files”. Hence the name.
