The Margaritaville stages of debugging:

  1. It's nobody's fault
  2. It could be my fault
  3. It's my own damn fault

My-shitty-code

Codin' on my laptop, watching the clock tock All of these errors pop up on the screen... Fixing my syntax, I fire up emacs... compile again, hope now my code's clean

Struggling again with debugging my shitty code, Searching for my lost semicolon, Some people say that there’s maintainers to blame But I know... it’s nobody’s fault

Don’t know the reason, my eyes started seizin, Stare at screens all night, one more pot of brew... Empty bags of Doritos, I'm covered in Cheetos, And still how to solve it, I haven't a clue

Struggling again with debugging my shitty code, Searching for my lost semicolon, Some people say that there’s maintainers to blame Now I think, hell, it could be my fault

I've broken the code base, ruined each of the edge case Get an exception, pull up the console My heart starts to flutter, as I consider the other, Jobs and lives that I could have chose

Struggling again with debugging my shitty code, Searching for my lost semicolon, Some people say that there’s maintainers to blame But I know... it’s my own damn fault


Read every line in Jimmy's voice to the music. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Posted while drinking a (third) margarita in honor of Jimmy Buffett.


Is this a copypasta or did you just write this yourself? Because this is absolutely brilliant.


Very likely just chatgpt output.
