  • 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
