White Space
(sung to the tune of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space”)

[Verse 1:]
Nice to meet you 
where you been?
I can show you incredible things
Cocoa, ruby, ember, vim
Saw you there and I thought,
oh my god look at that noob, 
learned to code by watching youtube
Sorry, I shouldn’t be so rude.
New laptop, nice work-friends
I can give you all the things you need
Our work’s seldom credit-ed
So you haven’t heard about me
OK. Let's be friends
I’m dying to see your favorite gems
Open Terminal and let’s begin
I can turn a bad coder good by the weekend

[Chorus]
Your app is gonna run forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
If we need to make a hot fix
We can sort it out with “git blame”
Seen a long list of codebases
That made me want to shout
Cause you know I love to mentor
So don't make me doubt
Tried to show you the style guide
But you wouldn’t take a hint
Then you pushed to production
Should’ve waited one more sprint
Seen a long list of codebases
That made me want to shout
And you left some white space, baby
but I trimmed it out.

[Verse 2:]
Unicorns, golden cuffs
I might promise you incredible things
You just cannot get enough
It's the best job you've ever seen
Find out what makes you tick
Then I'll lay it on so thick
I'll have you wrapped 'round my fingertip
But then
Pointing fingers, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Mess with the bull get the horns
Keep you second-guessing like
Oh my god, what the fuck
Can't you see, you're out of luck
I know how to pass the buck
And now all the bosses think that *you* suck

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Please don’t expect me to look out for you
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you
Please don’t expect me to look out for you
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you

[Chorus]
