Never a Friday

Liner Notes

Those poor IT support folk.

Lyrics

C
It’s a Friday in the office,
G7
The clock has just struck two,
G
You’ve been working on that code all week,
C
And want to see it through,

C
You bypass pre-prod testing,
F
After your first clean compile,
G G7
But a voice the in the back of your mind,
G C
Says wait a little while.

F C
Never push to production on a Friday,
G C
No not a Friday, Never a Friday,
F C
Never push to production on a Friday,
G7 G F G C
Unless you’re hoping, To Unleash Hell.

If your code will be soon be running,
On a million odd machines,
You better be sure that it works,
Cause that’s a lot of beans,

You might disrupt the airlines,
Or the AT Machines,
And you won’t have a job come Monday,
If it was your code caused the scene.

So if you’re a developer,
A cutter of the code,
Then never bypass pre-prod,
And test it under load,

When it comes to ones and zeros,
There’s edge cases galore,
And if you fail to spot them,
You’ll soon be shown the door,
