Lyrics below. As a great leader once said, "developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers!"
This song was mixed/mastered by YLA ( / producedwithlove )
Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Developers, developers, everywhere I turn
Developers with education budgets they can burn
Developers nerding out hard trying to learn
Developers networking and it’s awkward
Developers, yeah you know we love free stuff
Developers, yeah you know we love food trucks
Developers, yeah you know we love free lunch
At the conference got the lecture hall turned up
I’m at the conference, check out the sponsors, check out the swag
Stickers by the stack, free water bottles in my bag
Stopped by the booth, grabbing T-shirts by the roll
If I do this twice a year, I won’t have to shop for clothes
Yeah I came to network
But sparking up a convo takes effort
I should go and talk to someone I don’t know
But I’m shy I gotta find my friends first
Hit the workshop, speaker dropping knowledge like a wiz
My biggest accomplishment is centering a div
I’ll keep nodding as if I’m just following along
But honestly I really have no clue what’s going on
Jotting down some notes that I’ll never read
Feels like everybody is ahead of me
Go and find a corner try to get some work done
I brought all my business cards but I’ve handed out none
(Chorus)
Developers, developers, everywhere I turn
Developers with education budgets they can burn
Developers nerding out hard trying to learn
Developers networking and it’s awkward
Developers, yeah you know we love free stuff
Developers, yeah you know we love food trucks
Developers, yeah you know we love free lunch
At the conference got the lecture hall turned up
Grabbing dinner, everything is lukewarm
They call it tacos but it’s looking like some cardboard
Ain’t this what they have all of those sponsors for?
This is what I dropped a thousand dollars for?
Find a table, I’m not a talker, it’s super awkward
Just trying to eat my food, dude keeps bringing up Docker
I’m leaving, I need the bathroom, it’s bout that time
Oh of course, there’s a long a** line
So I head outside, checking out the mediocre band
Crowd stands hands in pockets like a high school dance
Except one guy who clearly got too drunk
Beer in his neckbeard, yelling “Rails 5 sucks”
I don’t even know why I keep coming here
I had all the same complaints last year
So I go to my hotel and try to get some work done
I brought all my business cards but I’ve handed out none
(Chorus)
Developers, developers, everywhere I turn
Developers with education budgets they can burn
Developers nerding out hard trying to learn
Developers networking and it’s awkward
Developers, yeah you know we love free stuff
Developers, yeah you know we love food trucks
Developers, yeah you know we love free lunch
