$stdout - Integrations
Lyrics below. Tis better to have integrated and lost than never to have integrated at all.
(Chorus)
You got an app I got an app too
You like me and I think I like you
We should integrate, we could make something new
But 1 + 1 doesn’t always equal 2
You got an API, I got an API
We should integrate, have our teams intertwine
Share your hot leads and I’ll share some of mine
But building integrations ain’t always worth the time
The company is growing up, got a little buzz
Been single, now folks are reaching out to us
Like “we should really integrate, when can we discuss?”
I guess it’s time, that’s what everybody else does
But I’ve been down this road before
I’ve been let down and hurt so this time we should be sure
That it’s more, I need a real partner that’ll listen
Match my commitment and heart to build a vision
Can’t be a player trying juggle me with other partners
If I’m not the priority that’s a non-starter
‘Cause it really takes 2 to make this s***
You gotta be all in on this relationship
I don’t integrate with just anybody
If you can’t treat me right then forget about it
Can’t be alone forever so I’ll take a chance
Set up a meeting with our teams, we can all chat
(Chorus)
You got an app I got an app too
You like me and I think I like you
We should integrate, we could make something new
But 1 + 1 doesn’t always equal 2
You got an API, I got an API
We should integrate, have our teams intertwine
Share your hot leads and I’ll share some of mine
But building integrations ain’t always worth the time
First date Zoom call, PMs and devs
If you wanna be my partner gotta get with my friends
And I’m trying to see what it’s like to be with you
Are you the type of integration who’s gon’ see it through?
Can I joke? Can I just be me with you?
Are you cold? Are you honest when I speak to you?
Is this a fling for a week or 2?
Or will you always come through if I need to meet with you?
You say all the right things in your responses, like
“We’ll always hold you down, that's the promise, right?”
So we can move forward to the next steps
Share your docs, give me sandbox access
Talk timing, get everybody in alignment
You said I do, I say me too, contract signed it
The point of no return, let’s move along
I put myself out there for you, don’t do me wrong
(Bridge)
Couple months pass, started out smooth
Then you went and did what you said you wouldn’t do
I trusted you, this ain’t how it’s supposed to be
When I email you a question now you’re ghosting me
You said I was your favorite, is that right?
Then who’s this integration featured on your website?
You’re just like all the other partners from my past I
Know you used somebody else’s sandbox last night
You’re never there
Try to call you on your network I get 503 errors
I should’ve noticed that your API is full of lies
I’d find a bug and you’d act like it was by design
When we’re together, what do we actually do?
What we’re building just saves users a click or 2
And we’re on and off, half the time s***’s buggy
Should’ve called it what it was, it was just money
Wasn’t it, you’re too busy to put the work in
I knew this s*** wouldn’t be worth it
Truth is, we were never right for each other
But we got code to maintain and write for each other
(Chorus)
You got an app I got an app too
You like me and I think I like you
We should integrate, we could make something new
But 1 + 1 doesn’t always equal 2
You got an API, I got an API
We should integrate, have our teams intertwine
Share your hot leads and I’ll share some of mine
But building integrations ain’t always worth the time
