Code Hard!

What do you do when you feel your brain is shutting down while reading a 550 pages book?

Oh yeah you got that right, you browse the internet. And so I did, then out of the blue an amazing video came across, it made me laugh so hard.

It turns out that it was a Rap music video made in celebration of Java Life for the JavaOne 2011 conference, so I guess I'm a little bit late seeing it and talking about it.. But what the heck, it's awesome nevertheless.

And here's the video showing you the making of.

This video blends cool with geek ending up with awesome, it simply made my day! I hope you'll love it as much as I did.

Keep it up Java developers out there. RESPECT!

Finally, I'll leave you with the lyrics to the video, in case you need to sing along :P

SPOKEN:

In the cubicles representin’ for my JAVA homies…

In by nine, out when the deadlines are met, check it.

CHORUS:

We code hard in these cubicles

My style’s nerd-chic, I’m a programmin’ freak

We code hard in these cubicles

Only two hours to your deadline? Don’t sweat my technique.

Sippin’ morning coffee with that JAVA swirl.

Born to code; my first words were “Hello World”

Since 95, been JAVA codin’ stayin’ proud

Started on floppy disks, now we take it to the cloud.

On my desktop, JAVA’s what’s bobbin’ and weavin’

We got another winning app before I get to OddEven.

Blazin’ code like a forest fire, climbin’ a tree

Setting standards like I Triple E….

Boot it on up, I use the force like Luke,

Got so much love for my homeboy Duke.

GNU Public Licensed, it’s open source,

Stop by my desk when you need a crash course

Written once and my script runs anywhere,

Straight thuggin’, mean muggin’ in my Aeron chair.

All the best lines of code, you know I wrote ‘em

I’ll run you out of town on your dial-up modem.

CHORUS:

‘Cause…

We code hard in these cubicles

Me and my crew code hyphy hardcore

We code hard in these cubicles

It’s been more than 10 years since I’ve seen the 404.

Inheriting a project can make me go beeee-serk

Ain’t got four hours to transfer their Framework.

The cleaners killed the lights, Man, that ain’t nice,

Gonna knock this program out, just like Kimbo Slice

I program all night, just like a champ,

Look alive under this IKEA lamp.

I code HARDER in the midnight hour,

E7 on the vending machine fuels my power.

Ps3 to Smartphones, our code use never ends,

JAVA’s there when I beat you in “Words with Friends”.

My developing skills are so fresh please discuss,

You better step your game up on that C++.

We know better than to use Dot N-E-T,

Even Dan Brown can’t code as hard as me.

You know JAVA’s gettin’ bigger, that’s a promise not a threat,

Let me code it on your brain

WHISPERED:

so you’ll never forget.

CHORUS:

We code hard in these cubicles,

it’s the core component…of what we implement.

We code hard in these cubicles,

Straight to your JAVA Runtime Environment.

We code hard in these cubicles,

Keep the syntax light and the algorithm tight.

We code hard in these cubicles,

Gotta use JAVA if it’s gonna run right.

We code hard in these cubicles

JAVA keeps adapting, you know it’s built to last.

We code hard in these cubicles,

Robust and secure, so our swag’s on blast

CODE HARD
