It’s My (Programmer’s) Life
– to the tune of “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi
This ain’t a song for the disenheartened
No silent prayer for code discarded
I’m scouring the source for the bug in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my joy when I toss the bug out
’Cause it’s five nines
Don’t be too clever
L-O-C’s won’t live forever
I just wanna code while I’m alive
(It’s five nines)
My source is like a public beach
Like Stallman said it’s free like speech
I’ll be coding ’til the day I die
It’s five nines
This is for the bugs that stood their ground
Those nasty little problems we couldn’t rout out
But we’re finding them tomorrow: make no mistake
Debugging ain’t lucky—gotta make your own breaks
It’s five nines
For now and ever
Best practices will last forever
Or at least as long as I’m alive
(It’s five nines)
My code’s completely free of bull
Like Ockham said I kept it simple
I’ll be coding ’til the day I die
It’s five nines
You'd better stand tall
When the program falls down
Don’t bend, don’t break
Don’t get out of town
It’s five nines
It’s now or never
Eliminate those bugs forever
To keep our clients fully satisfied
(It’s five nines)
Our product is so squeaky clean
Like Kermit said it’s hard to be green
I’ll be coding ’til the day I die
It’s five nines
For now and ever
Best practices will last forever
I’ll be coding ’til the day I die
(It’s five nines)
My source is like a public beach
Like Stallman said it’s free like speech
Coding is what makes me feel alive
It’s five nines
