You put the stack trace into my logs
You send the load sky-high when the server starts
Hiesenbug killin’ my brain
My fingers bang on the keyboard ‘till my head does the same
The debugger ain’t helping
This code just ain’t right
Stack overflow says
I should call it a night
Finished with my language 'cause it didn't fit in with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am coding all the time
All day long I hack on Go but nothing seems to satisfy
I'll refactor one more time to avoid dreaded DRY
Can you help me?
Perl just fits my brain!
Oh, yeah
