    Once when I was still a kid, I told a woman I loved her so much that I could only love her more if she was a robot.

    She did not think that was romantic.

    I think it's kinda sweet for a kid. I mean what's cooler than a robot when you're 7? that's pretty much the pinnicle of "cool" at that age, or at least it was for me. So to compare a crush to a robot for a kid is similar to shakespear comparing thier lover to "a summer's day" or Selena Gomez comparing thier lover to "a love song"

    I was thinking about you when I cleaned up this codebase and removed a lot of redundant functions.

    I send my wife code she has nfi idea about but knows I'm proud so she pretends to be impressed.

    I win her heart over by making life much easier through technology and handling all that shit. When she can grab a PS4 controller, hit start, and sit on the couch, she knows not all ladies get their TV and sound system on, all inputs adjusted, game mode set, and Nintendo Switch home screen come up ready to launch Zelda.

    This person misunderstands a beautiful function code can be very sexy or maybe I'm a odd girl.

    I made a website for my wife with a list of a ton of reasons why I love her and each time she taps the screen it shows a new one.

    So... that is a thing you can do for the cost of a domain name and some cheap hosting.

    I wrote an automation specifically for my partner to unlock the front door when they arrive home.

    Also we got a sexy time button.

    Home Assistant is a path to what many would consider... Unnatural.

    When I was learning programming I wrote a small program that I called for_you.exe. It printed an animated ASCII penis ejaculating on some boobs. I emailed it to my girlfriend and thankfully she thought it was hilarious. We're still together.

    Keeping programming as far away from my relationships as possible.

    Instead, I distract them with the fact that I'm a pretty damned good cook and know where the best hole in the wall restaurants are.

    Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn't have to remember how to do it. And I didn't even name it after her...
