Damn this Broken Code
what can I say? I’ve been coding straight for a few weeks now, some of these things, just, happen, it was time some programming joined the pantheon of greatest hits
Apologies to Marcus Hummon, Jeff Hanna, and Bobby Boyd
sing along with the Rascal Flatts version of the real song
I set out to fix this crap many hours ago
Hoping I would find the bugs within this broken code
Segfaulted a time or two
Had a Lowenbrau, kept writing glue
Started to see with every line my coding career was through
Every long stack trace showing corrupted args
Others getting fail whales, leaving my boss in horror
Pointing me on my way, this is so fubar’d
This much I know is true
God damn this broken code
My coding career is through
(Yes it is)
I think about the years I spent on this pile of poo
My code is channeling Microsoft, even the screen is blue
It ran before, I don’t understand
I want to blame the sysadmin
It’s all part of a conspiracy that is coming true
Every long stack trace showing corrupted args
Others getting fail whales, leaving my boss in horror
Pointing me on my way, this is so fubar’d
This much I know is true
God damn this broken code
My coding career is through
