The 10 code commandments
## The 10 code commandments
To the melody of "10 crack commandments"

I've been in this game for years, it made me an animal
It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get
Your game on track, not your pull request thrown back
Rule Number Uno: never let no one know
How much stackoverflow rep you hold cause you know
The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially
If that man fucked up, get yo' ass stalked up
Number 2: always let 'em know your next move
Don't you know Bad Boys use unit tests and write docs?
Take it from your highness
I done squeezed mad commits at these cats for their nasty code submits
Number 3: never trust libraries released on aujourd'hui
That API stability'll set that ass up, properly gassed up
Hoodied and masked up, shit, for that fast buck
Bugs'll be laying in the bushes to light that ass up
Number 4: I know you heard this before
"Never fix a bug without a unit test"
Number 5: never sell no code where you make abode
I don't care if they want a cryptography secure nonce, tell 'em "bounce!"
Number 6: that goddamn reddit? Dead it
You think a cat pic's getting things done? Shit forget it!
7: this rule is so underrated
Keep your development and production completely separated
Environments don't mix like 2 diffs and no git
Find yourself in serious shit
Number 8: never keep source control on your box!
Them servers that send your files can hold remote origin too
Number 9 shoulda been Number 1 to me:
If you aint fighting the man stay the fuck away from SOPA
If anonymous think you trollin' they ain't trying to listen
They be sittin' in your port 80, waiting to start hittin'
Number 10: a strong word called "consultant"
Strictly for live men, not for freshmen
If your skills don't excel, say "hell no!"
Cause they gon' want they code rain sleet hail snow
Follow these rules you'll have mad code to break up
If not, 24 years on the wake up
Mug hit your temple, watch your IDE shake up
Co-op kid did did your markup, when you retire
Your jr. Developer refactored your entire code base, heard in three weeks.
She linted a whole half the code up
Heard she write a good commit, and can rig a pull request hook up.
Gotta go gotta go, more repos to push up, word up.
