I attach two beatles songs :-)
Eleanor Rigby
-------------
Eleanor Rigby
Sits at the keyboard,
and waits for a line on the screen,
lives in a dream.
Waits for a signal
finding some code
that will make the machine do some more.
What is it for ?
All the lonely users, where do they all come from ?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long.
Guru McKenzie
Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
Isn't it fun?
Look at him working,
Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
It takes a while...
All the lonely users, where do they all come from ?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long.
Eleanor Rigby
Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
Feels like a jerk.
Guru McKenzie
Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
nothing will load.
All the lonely users, where do they all come from ?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long.

Yesterday
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay,
now my database has gone away,
Oh I belive in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
and there's a millstone
hanging over me
the system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
what it was I couldn't say,
now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for backups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I belive in yesterday.
