It's Friday...wanted to get in on the song parodies - Chuck
Churning out the docs every day (with apologies to Otis Redding...)
Writing with the morning sun
I'll be writing when the evening's done
the engineers are meeting at ten
and they're changing all the specs again
so
I'm just gonna churn out the docs every day
Watching the deadlines fly away
trying to get a process in place
a waste of time...
Left IBM for a startup
options make me rich some day
now I use 'em for scratch pads
'cause I couldn't even give them away
so...
I'm just gonna churn out the docs every day
Watching the deadlines fly away
trying to get a process in place
a waste of time...
look hard
the client won't change
scope creep - your deadline remains the same
you'll do what ten people tell you to do
and you'll lower your salary range...
meeting with the corporate drones
and the PHB won't leave me alone
2,000 topics I wrote
now the board says the project won't float
so...
I'm just gonna churn out the docs every day
Watching the deadlines fly away
trying to get a process in place
a waste of time...
