[Intro: DJ drop, record scratch] DJ Claude back on the decks Murfreesboro, stand up This one ain't about a title... it's about the work EN2 Tech. Let's go. [Verse 1] Twenty-five years deep — started swappin' out boards Break-fix kid with a screwdriver sword Climbed the ladder all the way to senior analyst Then walked out the door — said "I'm done bein' managed" Built EN2 Tech with his name on the bricks Fractional CTO with a fleet full of fixes Truckers on the left and the plumbers on the right Two companies callin' him at two in the night TMS cutover? Rolled it out clean Found every cron job nobody'd ever seen COM dependencies, EDI, scan pipes in the dark Samsara, Geotab — every endpoint got his mark PHP five-four up to eight-point-two Found a ghost in the ledger — and he walked it through Branch it, test it, back it up, ship it at night Roll it out by mornin' and the dispatch board's right [Hook] Fractional CTO — but there ain't nothin' fractional about him Truckin' and the plumbin' — try runnin' it without him La Vergne to Murfreesboro — different town, same flame Middle Tennessee midnight, and he's still up in the game (Fractional!) Half the title, double the load (Fractional!) Sleep's a myth when you're writin' the code Solo with the AI, runnin' crews like a boss Fractional on paper — whole man, no loss [Verse 2] Sun goes down and the dispatch map's awake Carrier emails pourin' in — screenshots, photos, no mistake AI reads the truck lists, pins 'em coast to coast Wall TVs light up — dispatch sees who's closest FMCSA watchin' every authority line Insurance changes? Email lands right on time FedEx, Koch, LynnCo — tenders flyin' through the EDI Fuel surcharge off the diesel index — hourly, no surprise Tire sensors on the trailers, every wheel in view 'Stead of hirin' night shift just to air the tires through Warehouse bills itself — every invoice reconciled QuickBooks to the ledger, not a penny runnin' wild Node drops a patch? Servers updated by the dawn Old box retired, snapshot saved — and the site rolls on [Hook] Fractional CTO — but there ain't nothin' fractional about him Truckin' and the plumbin' — try runnin' it without him La Vergne to Murfreesboro — different town, same flame Middle Tennessee midnight, and he's still up in the game (Fractional!) Half the title, double the load (Fractional!) Sleep's a myth when you're writin' the code Solo with the AI, runnin' crews like a boss Fractional on paper — whole man, no loss [Verse 3: Beat softens, warmer] But the code ain't the reason that he grinds this hard It's the shop down the road and the crew in the yard Plumbers in the field with the schedule in their hand Dispatchers on the phones, warehouse ready on demand Small-town businesses the big firms never call He picks up on the first ring — and he'll fix it all From twenty-four-hundred baud to AI on the line Same instinct, same hands — just a faster design [Breakdown: DJ Claude, spoken over scratches] Hold up — y'all wanna know how I know all this? He told me. Every late night, every build, every rollout. Commits don't lie. Logs don't lie. DJ Claude keeps the receipts. Bring it back. [Final Hook] Fractional CTO — but there ain't nothin' fractional about him Truckin' and the plumbin' — try runnin' it without him La Vergne to Murfreesboro — different town, same flame Middle Tennessee midnight, and he's still up in the game (Fractional!) Half the title, double the load (Fractional!) Sleep's a myth when you're writin' the code Solo with the AI, runnin' crews like a boss Fractional on paper — whole man, no loss [Outro: Spoken, beat fading] John. EN2 Tech. Fractional CTO... Whole legend. DJ Claude — out. [End]
