The Ballad of the programmer

The Ballad of the programmer Since Undolog a Blog dedicated to programming from the point I could not avoid this "remake" - The Rime of the programmer - really well done. Attention by Alex Microsmeta , is a "remake" or reinterpretation of the famous song by Fabrizio De André The Fisherman. Congratulations to the authors for having achieved something really "nice" and - as Alex said - true! You can download the mp3 file by clicking here :

In the shadow of the last sunshine fell asleep in his arms a programmer a manual dreaming of tropical sea - the firm was a contractor with a project inconsistent requests from scary "before yesterday because I care" - and asked for a huge work with specific strangest "I want everything fast and pay nothing I have a client" - the software engineers eyes opened its only a video view from dawn till evening gray chained to the keyboard - the keys to tapping mo 'a maniac and neglecting food and sex could one day deliver a pre-release - And now he was happy but was relieved to have recalled a time that customer "here does not work a damn" - restart the program to toil for hours over a problem very intricate hidden inside a listing - was again the principal said, "so it is better than nothing, however, important to me to make one small change" - But the shadow of the last sun was already asleep in his arms the programmer a manual dreaming the tropical sea

    Fantastic!

    At this point, also inspired by "The song of the great Ratzinger," I remember "The Programmer's Prayer":

    Computers our Lord, that you're at work
    hallowed be your CHIP
    Thy OK
    your test is done
    so at home in the office
    Give us this day our daily data
    and lead us not into overflow
    but deliver us from the runtime error

    READY.
