Prod Bugs

(Chorus)

It’ll never be enough

Squash one and another pops up

It’s why the devs skipped lunch

On the hunt, in the logs, chasing down prod bugs

It’ll never be enough

Squash one and another pops up

It’s why I just skipped lunch

On the hunt, in the logs, chasing down these prod bugs

When the code goes live, all the devs wanna hide

There’s a bug coming, it’s just a matter of time

Marketing and sales doing high fives, writing blogs

I’m s***ting my pants, sitting on prod, tailing logs

Feel the sweat drip, everytime that we ship

Replaying code in my head for anything that I missed

Every message on Slack, gives me a panic attack

Somebody is gonna say the app crashed

Half past 3 and nothing has gone wrong

Sentry is looking all calm

Call it a day, pack it up and start heading home

On the way I see a Slack message hit up my phone

“You around right now? Need you stat, cause the apps down

Your code forced the server memory to max out"

Oh no, spazz out, nearly pass out

Run in the nearest coffee shop and pull my Mac out

(Chorus)

It’ll never be enough

Squash one and another pops up

It’s why the devs skipped lunch

On the hunt, in the logs, chasing down prod bugs

It’ll never be enough

Squash one and another pops up

It’s why I just skipped lunch

On the hunt, in the logs, chasing down these prod bugs

Half the team is online trying to help debug

I look like a noob in front of everyone

They keep saying “we work as a team”

But lowkey everybody’s blaming me

Meanwhile I’m blaming the ENV

Cause I swear it worked fine on my machine

Then I see the issue in an edge case

Why’s the user doing that in the first place?

Put together something looking fragile, foreal

No Jira cause this ain’t the time for agile, foreal

Push it up the fix is feeling hacky, foreal

Wonder if my boss is going to sack me, foreal

I dread tomorrow morning

Don’t want to show my face at the post mortem

But the code must go on

So we keep writing bugs and we keep on deploying
