A Developer's Song

The Developer's Song for Project Managers and Consultants
(Sing to the tune of Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me)

Because You Told Me

For all the bugs I had to fix
For all those hours spent after six
For all those specs I had to read
For every thing you made me speed
For every change you made me do
For every time you blamed me too
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who worked me up
Never let me go
You're the one who pushed me through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I did everything I did,
Because you told me

You gave me timelines that made me cry
I had no choice but to tell you lies
I lost my mind, you brought it back to me
You said no client was out of reach
You stood by me, I took the fall
I used your plan for toilet roll
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I did everything because you told me to

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I did everything I did,
Because you told me

I did everything I did,
Because you told me...



This one goes to those 'special developers'  - we just want to say 'Adoh'
Adoh! (sung to the tune of 'Hello' by Lionel Richie)

I've been testing this issue
With my mind
And in my dreams you’ve fixed this bug
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass outside my floor
Adoh!

Yes it’s you I’m looking for!
I can see it in your code
I can see it using TOAD
A fix is all I've wanted
But you’ve made the thing implode
Because you should know just what to fix
But you’re up to your old tricks
And I want to tell you so much
PLEASE fix issue 16006

I long to see the CR accepted over there
And I tell you time and time again
How much Tony cares
Sometimes I feel my head will just explode
Aiyo!

This CR has to go
Sometimes I wonder where you are
And I wonder what the hell you do
Are you somewhere feeling crazy?
Or is someone coding for you?
Tell me how to make you work
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying; build CR 222
