“I Had a Dream (Ops Edition)” (Fast rap intro) Yeah… I walked in Monday with a master plan, Thought I’d build a dream with the strongest clan. Future architects, legends in the game, Now I’m calling names… nobody came. Look to my left… “Who’s deleting firewall rules?” Look to my right… “Who rebooted prod?” Everybody quiet… Everybody shrug… Man… I need another coffee. ⸻ [Verse] I dreamed of warriors, ready for the fight, Reading logs all day, debugging through the night. Thought I’d build a squad, experts in the field, Now they’re asking Google what a VLAN really is. One forgot the backup, One skipped the test, One said “It works…” Then crashed the rest. My blood pressure climbing, Heartbeat racing, I’m reviewing CAB while production’s blazing. ⸻ [Chorus] I had a dream… A team that could fly. Now I’m writing runbooks… Wondering why. Left side? Oh no… Right side? Oh dear… Still gotta lift them, Year after year. ‘Cause when the pager rings, At two A.M., We don’t run away— We fix it again. ⸻ [Rap Break] You think I’m angry? Nah… I’m just disappointed. You call it “creative”… I call it “not documented.” You call it “temporary”… It’s been three years. You call it “best practice”… Bro… Where? ⸻ [Final Chorus] We argue. We fail. We learn. We grow. I complain every day… But I still won’t let you go. Because a real team Isn’t built when everything’s right. It’s built When somebody stays… To help you fix the mess At three in the morning. (Mic drop.)
