Ship the Code

September 25, 2024 at 12:49 AMv3.5

Verse 1 I hit Build, saw green, we’re good to go, If it compiles, then ship the code. A couple things might break, it’s true, But I’ve done my part, the rest’s on you. The dropdown’s gone, the login’s slow, But it works for me, so ship the code. Chorus Ship the code, send it through, The deadline’s here, there’s work to do. Skip the tests, cut the ties, Ship it now, don’t analyze. It works for me, so let it show, No time to waste—just ship the code. Verse 2 I found a bug, but I let it slide, Pushed my patch, now I’ll step aside. It’s all online, I’m movin’ on, If something breaks, I’m already gone. I did my part, I’m in the clear, Ship the code, I’m outta here. Chorus Ship the code, send it through, The deadline’s here, there’s work to do. Skip the tests, cut the ties, Ship it now, don’t analyze. It works for me, so let it show, No time to waste—just ship the code. Bridge It works for me, and that’s enough, If it breaks for you, well, that’s just tough. I’ll move ahead, no lookin' back, Ship the code and stay on track. Chorus Ship the code, send it through, The deadline’s here, there’s work to do. Skip the tests, cut the ties, Ship it now, don’t analyze. It works for me, so let it show, No time to waste—just ship the code. Outro Let someone else clean up the mess, Technical debt? That’s not my stress. I did my job, so hit the road, No time to waste—just ship the code.

I wrote this for a co-worker. He recently moved to management and is getting lots of schedule move-in requests. So, this seems like the logical response - the 'it compiles so ship it' song.
