CONTEXT

After every long day at the office, this disillusioned developer unwinds by letting loose on the 335.

LYRICS

Listen as you read on Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music

I’m losing sight and perspective,

In the quarter end hectic,

Getting lost in the metrics,

In practice not as projected.

The changes we had accepted,

All agreed would be best with,

But so unexpected,

Quality had rejected.

Burnout from the burndown,

This agile man is sprinting out of town.

Can’t stand more Kanban,

The MVP was enough for me.

Management had a vision,

But the plan lacked precision.

Too many cooks in the kitchen,

Too many pending submissions.

Burnout from the burndown,

This agile man is sprinting out of town.

Can’t stand more Kanban,

The MVP was enough for me.

Packaged up and submitted,

One more thing off the hitlist.

The next order of business,

Is for your old boy to quit this.

Burnout from the burndown,

This agile man is sprinting out of town.

Can’t stand more Kanban,

The MVP was enough for me.
