Liner Notes

Despite us not working in the same industry, these lyrics spoke to me on a fundamental level, and @bald_ruminant allowed me to set them to music as a collaboration.

Lyrics

We're five sprints into this project
Midway, in case you had not checked
The standups, you rarely attend
On you we just cannot depend

Even though we're now halfway through
You've never done a code review
Nor made a single pull request
Despite you, the team has progressed

You contribute nothing at all
Shouldn't you be in for a fall?

How the hell do you keep your job?
Yeah, How, how have you kept your job?

You're leaving your team in the lurch
Come blame time, hardly need to search
We've seen other coders get fired
A new team member should be hired

You contribute nothing at all
Shouldn't you be in for a fall?

How the hell do you keep your job?
Yeah, How, how have you kept your job?

You're dragging the team's metrics down
Worse than when you were out of town
The velocity charts that you skew
We're so tired of carrying you

How the hell do you keep your job?
Yeah, How, how have you kept your job?

Feeling this one hard right now as we're deploying the latest schedue app ... that I've been putting 12 hour days in on to pick up some else's slack.

Thanks for the 3 minute scream into the void, you guys!
