Today we salute you, Mr. Technology Executive who can still code
Scott D helped me out today and I was inspired to write a Real Men Of Genius song:
----------------
Today we salute you, Mr. Technology Executive who can still code
You were once the Coding Rock Star but now are known more now for attending meetings
You, leader of the Development Teams proclamating to everyone within your influence that you're fully prepared to drive the code at any time
[chorus: where’s my Visual Studio!!]
Yes indeed you're still the alpha geek, sitting in the dark and drinking Mountain Dew, and that's exactly when you start hearing the Project Manager:
[chorus: are you done yet!!]
After all, who would want to be in the position of having to make Upper Upper management, Middle Management and Customers happy when you could be applying a hot fix or walking through the debugger
[chorus: are private class-level variables inherited?!!]
So go ahead, big guy – drive that code
[chorus: I’m not pushing to get time cards in today!!]
It takes guts to do what you do, holder of the MCP certification, but it takes even more guts to do what you haven’t done in awhile. Thank you.
This one's for you, Mr. Mr. Technology Executive who can still code.
