Project manager just sent me new designs

I can’t lie, InVision links are looking fly

Sales cannot wait, marketing wants a release date

Even the CEO wants to know how long it’ll take

How much are we going to push aside for that?

‘Cause I got backend tickets, I ain’t got no time for that

Too bad my PM told me this came from the top

So now I’m Googling “how to use flexbox”

Time to look, I open up the assets

I’ve been here for months, haven’t had to style yet

I wonder what’s in main.css?

Gotta catch my breath, dang it’s a crazy mess

I see a file called “overrides”, it’s just for IE6

A couple files for pages I’m pretty sure don’t exist

The markup makes it clear we don’t know how to use a grid

Cause every other line is line break or clearfix

(Chorus 2x)

Mess.css

It’s a mess.css

And I forgot mobile and tablet

Change my resume from full-stack to just backend

My divs got children and the children have so many kids

There’s like 50 indentation layers to this shit

We got a class for floating right, 3 for floating left

One named .size-12 that’s actually 10px text

One named .text-dark but it’s color: fff

One named .light-green, it also has the wrong hex

Inspect element, I’m taking guesses in the browser

I gotta center this vertically? Give me 7 hours

Plus the app relies on Bootstrap being imported

So I’m overriding, every rule is !important

It’s so annoying so I hit up my PM on Slack

Like “how exact should the app and the designs match?”

Move that, hide that, fade that

Yeah it sounds so simple when you say that

But the code’s so shitty

We never cared as long as the app looked pretty

(Chorus 2x)

Mess.css

It’s a mess.css

And I forgot mobile and tablet

Change my resume from full-stack to just backend
