Top ten reasons to code
1: You wanna learn how to think?
Not talking about the thinking babies do in the crib.
I mean the science of reasoning,
Sprinkle that on your skill set just like seasoning.
2:
Coders make bank, don't take my word,
Let's compare Jay Z, to Mark Zuckerberg.
It would take sixty-six Jay-Zs,
To equal the wealth of one Mark, crazy!
3:
Coders make movies and games,
All the ones on the consoles we play.
Yeah, they write the games, code 'em to reality,
Racing to the finish line or zooming through the galaxy.
4: You don't have to sport a three-piece suit,
Go to work in a hoodie or a one-piece, wooo!
5:
Your office is mad moveable,
You don't have to be restricted to a cubicle.
You can code from the beach in Fiji,
Or in the piazza, by the Uffizi.
And how do you say, WiFi in Italian?
Wireless internet? It's WiFi!
6: So many companies will like you,
They'll be offering perks to entice you.
Rock-climbing gyms, massages, scooters,
Free food plus those
high-tech computers.
7: You know
computers aren't smart,
They have
chips but no brain or heart.
You could be Napoleon, controlling them,
When you write a little bit of
code for them.
8: Coding's like music, it's rhythmic,
Feels so good, and the work's so prolific.
9: Beyond all the lifestyle perks,
Coders change the world when they puttin' in the work.
Medical research to help cure cancer,
An algorithm just might have the answer.
By 2030 we hittin' the red planet,
And I guarantee you coders'll be the ones that'll plan it.
Not too many ladies in the code game,
But now I think it's time for that to all change.
You can pick your wildest dream,
Turn around and code it up on the wildest screen.
10: So go invent a hot
app,
Make a cool mil, then take a long nap.
Take it from Chris Bosh or even Steve Jobs,
Code the next
iPod at your sweet job.
Let's code!
