"I Code Alone"

Rob Sartin contributed the following gem to the PragProgWiki.

I liked it so much I just had to share it:

(To the tune of “I Drink Alone” by George Thorogood)

I code alone, yeah With nobody else I code alone, yeah With nobody else You know when I code alone I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast I don’t want no pair with me Just me and good buddy emacs That’s all I ever need ‘Cause I code alone, yeah With nobody else Yeah, you know when I code alone I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping And I woke from a terrible dream So I caught up my pal Eclipse And his partner JavaBeans And we coded alone, yeah With nobody else Yeah, you know when I code alone I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party But I stayed home instead Just me and my pal J2EE With those awesome EJBs And we coded alone, yeah With nobody else Yeah, you know when I code alone I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me And it makes me feel all alone The only one who will hang out with me Is my J2ME phone And we code alone, yeah With nobody else Yeah, you know when I code alone I prefer to be by myself
