"You may say I'm an extremer (...)"

I found this one years ago #nostalgic...


Imagine there’s no requirements.
It’s easy if you try
Just a bunch of coders,
reachin’ for the sky
Imagine all the people,
coding for today

Imagine there’s no schedules.
It isn’t hard to do
No silly project deadlines,
no one supervising you
Imagine all the people,
coding hand in hand

You may say I’m an extremer
but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
and make coding lots more fun.

Imagine oral documentation.
I wonder if you can
No need for UML diagrams.
Just words passed, man to man
Imagine just refactoring,
playing in the sand

You may say I’m an extremer
but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
and make coding lots more fun

  1. What was the goal of the blog entry? Was this to bring some good old memories or something completely different? I read it few times and thought I'd ask since I spent my time here.

  2. I found it in 2004 when I started my first job. Those times Agile and XP were completely crazy ideas for me. I had really believed that great new world would come true in couple years. And I found the song once again couple days ago. Yes, bringing old memories was the goal of the blog entry.
