I made my wife a magic mirror.

The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the Hurd. Its original name was Alix—named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time.

Refactor them guts. Get naked.

Have all of your functions named after loved ones and/or nicknames for your genitalia - that way you can say stuff like “muh dick needs to call shawty in order to work”.

Unit test dummy data is full of it. Need an arbitrary date? Pick a special birthday. Location? Wherever you first met.

Not the most public dedication, but perhaps more impactful than yet another song about the one that got away.
