			<p>
			Lyrics:
			<p>
			<br>How does a text-based, coder, with a two-core and a
			<br>Touchpad, dropped in the middle of a real sad
			<br>Spot with only dial up, without the competence or confidence required
			<br>Grow up to be a hero of a wirer?
			<p>
			<br>The installer's founding father without a bother
			<br>Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
			<br>By being a lot smarter
			<br>By being a self-starter
			<br>By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a python parser
			<p>
			<br>And every day while strings were being concatenated and formatted
			<br>Away across the spaces, he struggled and kept his guard up
			<br>Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
			<br>The brother was ready to click, drag, quick drop or borrow
			<p>
			<br>Coronavirus came, and isolation reigned
			<br>Our man saw his revenue drip, dripping down the drain
			<br>Put a mouse in his hand, connected it to his brain
			<br>And he wrote his first VI, a controller for his train
			<p>
			<br>Well, the word got around, they said 'This IDE's insane, see'
			<br>Took up a collection just to pay the license fee
			<br>"Get online education, don't forget from whence you came, and
			<br>The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?"
			<p>
			<br>"Alexander LabVIEW Man.
			<br> My name is Alexander LabVIEW Man."
			<br>'There's a million dependencies to load,
			<br>But just you wait…just you wait….'
			<p>
			<br>When he was ten his codebase split, errors hit, debt-ridden
			<br>Two years later, see Alex and his laptop bug-ridden
			<br>Half-working it is so sick, you can't click
			<p>
			<br>And Alex got better but his laptop crashed quick
			<p>
			<br>Moved it to a VM, the VM committed suicide
			<br>Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
			<br>A voice saying, "Alex, get source control for yourself"
			<br>He started refactorin' and learnin' every pattern on the shelf
			<p>
			<br>There would've been nothin' left to do
			<br>For someone less astute
			<br>Code would've been unable to compute
			<br>Without highlight execution
			<br>Started workin, clickin' on a bluetooth without a cord
			<br>Buildin' frameworks and templates avoiding tech debt he can't afford
			<br>Scammin' for every blog he can get his hands on
			<br>Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
			<br>The brink of a sprint headed for a new plan
			<br>With LabVIEW you can be a new man
			<p>
			<br>With LabVIEW you can (just you wait) be a new man
			<br>With LabVIEW you can (just you wait) be a new man
			<br>With LabVIEW you can be a new man
			<br>-With LabVIEW
			<br>--LabVIEW
			<br>---Just you wait!
			<p>
			<br>Alexander LabVIEW Man (Alexander LabVIEW Man)
			<br>LabVIEW's scripting the things for you (scripting the things for you)
			<br>You know how to shut down
			<br>You finally learned to write unit tests
			<br>Oh, Alexander LabVIEW Man (Alexander LabVIEW Man)
			<br>When they code review for you
			<br>Will they know what you overrode?
			<br>Will they know you rewrote the code?
			<br>Now G will never be the same
			<p>
			<br>The code is in the repo now
			<br>CI is gonna build it (Just you wait)
			<br>Dependency injection
			<br>Comin' up from the bottom (Just you wait)
			<br>His customers deployed his app
			<br>And then they forgot him
			<p>
			<br><Stephen and Allen>
			<br>We AF with it
			<p>
			<br><Delacor people>
			<br>D-QMH with it
			<p>
			<br><Darren>
			<br>Me? I work on it
			<p>
			<br><Anybody who wants>
			<br>Me? I love it
			<p>
			<br><Jeff K>
			<br>And me? I'm the damn fool that made it
			<p>
			<br>There's a million dependencies to load
			<br>But just you wait!
			<p>
			<br>What's your name man?
			<p>
			<br>Alexander LabVIEW Man!
