Music and developing (a day of mood swings)
During my day-to-day work as a developer, I go through a
number of moods (maybe more moods than what’s good for me), and I
thought I’d explain them with references to songs:
My day kind of starts with I hurt myself today (and some days end with it as well):
“I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real”
Then, commuting to work:
“No stop signs, speedin’ limit
Nobody’s gonna slow me down”
Walk into the office:
“Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose”
“This place ain’t doing me any good”
“I used to care, but things have changed”
Then I get to my desk, and I feel like this:
“There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief”
“There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke”
Code something, and run into trouble:
“I once believed
I wouldn’t bleed”
Trouble that makes me go out of my mind:
“I feel my world shake
I can’t look away
Hard to see clear
Is it me
Or is it fear?”
But then I find the solution:
“God Gave Me Everything I Want”
An occasional moment of despair, that eventually turns into solving the problem:
“Fight and pray”
“Oh happy day”
And then I go home…
