Code Monkey Like Fritos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the catchy-songs-in-your-head dept.

Greyjack writes "Jonathan Coulton's latest song in his thing-a-week series, Code Monkey, is an anthem for under-appreciated developers everywhere. From the song: 'Code Monkey get up get coffee / Code Monkey go to job / Code monkey have boring meeting, with boring manager Rob / Rob say Code Monkey very diligent / But his output stink / His code not functional or elegant / What do Code Monkey think?' Like virtually everything he does, he's released it under a Creative Commons license -- go forth, download, and share the goodness!" Update: 04/23 19:23 GMT by SM: Several users have also provided a torrent.

    Dude, I posted my work for free! Why you dissin' me fo'?

    Well, you are spot-on about me being a tortured artiste type. I'm glad you were able to quickly identify my classification and get to the heart of the matter.

    I'm afraid that if I said anything about you I missed it. Get over yourself. We're not talking about you behind your back, because you aren't that important to us.

    I should have more specifically stated that there will almost always be people ready to complain because the server is Slashdotted, or because the editors even posted the story in the first place, or because of something else.

    Ah, yes, well, that would have given me some insight into your outlook on life.

    Did you know that there are people who go around complaining constantly about people complaining constantly?

    No, probably not.

    Something in the nature of threaded discussion like Slashdot brings out adversarial comments.

    Believe it or not, I'm not being adversarial right now. I'm being amused.
