The Everly Brothers[^]
The winter’s flaking data is brushing through the binary trees
I stuck my hands down deep inside my app
I think of years ago and half remembered libraries
And functions that still warm me with their glow
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like VB
I listen to my hard disk badly seeking
The sound of one man debuggin' through VS can break your heart
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to code an app in anything.
The butchered code I’m writin' is all that keeps me on my seat
I feel like I've been coding all my life
A PM goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him debuggin' ragged by the code
I'd ride that super highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger with the code
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to code an app in anything.
And as I type I'm prayin’ to myself, no longer silent drive
Hoping I can save before it fails
Oh, God forgive the man who runs right by the other dev
Have pity on the stranger with the code
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to code an app in anything.

Upvoted for The Everly Brothers, and thumbs up for your poetry!
I am now going to have my lunch with 'Songs our daddy taught us', having been reminded of those guys.

I hadn't got it, but having seen the answer, the explanation is ...
Seasonal = CHRISTMAS (The CCC topic for this week)
Graduate = BA (Batchelor of Arts)
shifts blue = UBLE (anagram of blue)
=> CHRISTMAS BAUBLE

cuz, last week I got GPT-3 access. I am calculating my free tokens carefully.
Just had my now time to program and test!
I haven't had time to see the GPT-3 CP articles, if there is some.

Cool. I was checking that one out, also. I am writing some new php classes from scratch before I can really start using my GPT-3 tokens. I just remembered it can write code but I haven't ask it yet. That would be a cool cp article, maybe.

I've absolutely no idea what you're talking about. However I am reminded of an international incident from the early 90's. GEC merged with UK telecomms company Plessey, forming a new company GEC Plessey Telecommunications. In 1991, because Plessey no longer existed, GEC Plessey Telecommunications was renamed to just the initial letters GPT. Unfortunately this didn't go down well in their French offices. The French switchboard operators had to answer the phones with "Bonjour; GPT". In French this sounds uncomfortably like "Bonjour; j'ai pété" - or, translated, "Hello; I have farted". Shortly afterwards the company became known as GPTel in France...

I have seen my fair-share of acronyms to start another alphabet.
Here is a cool intro into its displays of real intelligence.

I can't believe it is helping me write some php classes from scratch.

... but at least I have each other.
