  If the Beatles were Programmers

     Eleanor Rigby
     -------------
     Eleanor Rigby
     Sits at the keyboard
     And waits for a line on the screen
     Lives in a dream
     Waits for a signal
     Finding some code
     That will make the machine do some more.
     What is it for?

     All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
     All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

     Guru MacKenzie
     Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
     Isn't it fun?
     Look at him working,
     Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
     It takes a while...

     All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
     All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

     Eleanor Rigby
     Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
     Feels like a jerk.
     Guru MacKenzie
     Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
     Nothing will load.

     All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
     All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

     Unix Man
     --------
     He's a real UNIX Man
     Sitting in his UNIX LAN
     Making all his UNIX .plans
     For nobody.

     Knows the blocksize from du(1)
     Cares not where /dev/null goes to
     Isn't he a bit like you
     And me?

     UNIX Man, please listen(2)
     My lpd(8) is missin'
     UNIX Man
     The wo-o-o-orld is at(1) your command.

     He's as wise as he can be
     Uses lex and yacc and C
     UNIX Man, can you help me
     At all?

     UNIX Man, don't worry
     Test with time(1), don't hurry
     UNIX Man
     The new kernel boots, just like you had planned.

     He's a real UNIX Man
     Sitting in his UNIX LAN
     Making all his UNIX .plans
     For nobody ...
     Making all his UNIX .plans
     For nobody.

     Write in C ("Let it Be")
     ----------
     When I find my code in tons of trouble,
     Friends and colleagues come to me,
     Speaking words of wisdom:
     "Write in C."

     As the deadline fast approaches,
     And bugs are all that I can see,
     Somewhere, someone whispers:
     "Write in C."

     Write in C, Write in C,
     Write in C, oh, Write in C.
     LOGO's dead and buried,
     Write in C.

     I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
     For science it worked flawlessly.
     Try using it for graphics!
     Write in C.

     If you've just spent nearly 30 hours,
     Debugging some assembly,
     Soon you will be glad to
     Write in C.

     Write in C, Write in C,
     Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
     BASIC's not the answer.
     Write in C.

     Write in C, Write in C
     Write in C, oh, Write in C.
     Pascal won't quite cut it.
     Write in C.

     =================================================

     Something
     ---------
     Something in the way it fails,
     Defies the algorithm's logic!
     Something in the way it coredumps...

     I don't want to leave it now
     I'll fix this problem somehow

     Somewhere in the memory I know,
     A pointer's got to be corrupted.
     Stepping in the debugger will show me...

     I don't want to leave it now
     I'm too close to leave it now

     You're asking me can this code go?
     I don't know, I don't know...
     What sequence causes it to blow?
     I don't know, I don't know...

     Something in the initializing code?
     And all I have to do is think of it!
     Something in the listing will show me...

     I don't want to leave it now
     I'll fix this tonight I vow!
