EVERY BUILD YOU BREAK
aka "Every Breath You Take" by The Police
by the Apple OpenDoc team
Every build you break
Every change you make
to the API
makes us want to cry
We'll be watching you
Every single file
Watch your coding style
Every build you break
there'll be chocolate cake
We'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
this is killing me
How my poor heart aches
with every build you break
Every file you check in
Mostly formatting
Every file you touch
that you tweak too much
We'll be watching you
When debugging we're lost without a trace

We keep crying Alfke, Alfke please!
Oh can't you see
this is killing me
How my poor heart aches
with every build you break
Every IDL
Every exp
Every xih
Every DRI
will be watching you
We'll be watching you (We'll be watching you)
Every build you make
Every build you break
We'll be watching you

We'll be watching you (SLOW watch Geoff to end)

Code Rewriting
Refactoring C is hard, but C++ is much harder
