The Eye of the Coder

I wrote this a while back and I keep losing it. Maybe now that it’s here, it won’t get lost again.

Sittin’ down, back in the cube Ate my lunch, took a quick break Went to Wendy’s, now I’m back with my code Just a man and his dual monitors

So many times, it crashes too fast You trade your soda for coffee Don’t lose your grip on the mouse and keyboard You must fight to keep yourself awake

It’s the eye of the coder, it’s the thrill of the bug Risin’ up to the challenge of our deadline And the remote debugger tracks your code in the night And I’m watchin’ it all with the eye of the coder

Face to screen, in the office Hangin’ tough, stayin’ focused They report bugs, till we track them all down For the build that we can mark as gold

It’s the eye of the coder, it’s the thrill of the bug Risin’ up to the challenge of our deadline And the remote debugger tracks your code in the night And I’m watchin’ it all with the eye of the coder

Sittin’ down, back in the cube Have the docs, got the coffee Set the breakpoint, now I’m gonna fix it Just a man and his dual monitors

It’s the eye of the coder, it’s the thrill of the bug Risin’ up to the challenge of our deadline And the remote debugger tracks your code in the night And I’m watchin’ it all with the eye of the coder

The eye of the coder The eye of the coder The eye of the coder
