Coding in Margaritaville

Coding in Margaritaville

If Jimmy Buffet had filled his weekends with coffee and laptops rather than alcohol and beaches...but took his laptop to a Margaritaville-themed resort for a hackathon.

"Coding in Margaritaville"

Feelin’ the sun bake

Watchin’ my code break

Food and drink to consume and enjoy

Coffee addictions,

DeFi encryptions,

Slack a thought

For an app to deploy

 

Codin’ away with friends in Margaritaville

BCIs and Skunkworks while we consort

Each employee will increase earth’s agency  

As we know, we’re our own tech support!

 

Snack food to graze on

While posting JSONs

Write some code for a peer to review

This bug is a doozy,

Infecting my GUI

Why I’d commit it I haven’t a clue

 

Codin’ away with friends in Margaritaville

BCIs and Skunkworks while we consort

Each employee will increase earth’s agency  

As we know, we’re our own tech support!

 

I blew out my laptop

Ran out of sunblock

My new app works in Brave, not in Chrome

But we never surrender,

And pages will render

‘Till we have a product to ship, we hack on!

 

Codin’ away with friends in Margaritaville

BCIs and Skunkworks while we consort

Each employee will increase earth’s agency  

As we know, we’re our own tech support!

"Margaritaville"

Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake

All of those tourists covered with oil

Strummin' my six-string

On my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp

They're beginnin' to boil

 

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know it's nobody's fault

 

Don't know the reason

I stayed here all season

Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo

But it's a real beauty

A Mexican cutie

How it got here I haven't a clue

 

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know it's nobody's fault

 

I blew out my flip-flop

Stepped on a pop top

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

But there’s booze in the blender

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

 

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of saltr

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know it's nobody's fault
