If Beatles was a bunch of Computer Nerds

Yesterday
Yesterday,

All those backups seemed a waste of pay.

Now my database has gone away.

Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

Theres not half the files there used to be,

And theres a milestone hanging over me

The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong

What it was I could not say.

Now all my datas gone

and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,

The need for back-ups seemed so far away.

I knew my data was all here to stay,

Now I believe in yesterday.

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;

Isnt 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
Hes 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

Isnt 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.

Hes as wise as he can be

Uses lex and yacc and C

UNIX Man, can you help me At all?

UNIX Man, dont worry

Test with time(1), dont hurry UNIX Man

The new kernel boots, just like you had planned.

Hes 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.

LOGOs 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 youve 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.

BASICs not the answer.

Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C

Write in C, oh, Write in C.

Pascal wont quite cut it.

Write in C.

Something
Something in the way it fails,

Defies the algorithms logic!

Something in the way it coredumps…

I dont want to leave it now

Ill fix this problem somehow

Somewhere in the memory I know,

A pointers got to be corrupted.

Stepping in the debugger will show me…

I dont want to leave it now

Im too close to leave it now

Youre asking me can this code go?

I dont know, I dont know…

What sequence causes it to blow?

I dont know, I dont know…

Something in the initializing code?

And all I have to do is think of it!

Something in the listing will show me…

I dont want to leave it now

Ill fix this tonight I vow!
