Though our time at WTF University this week was brief (especially compared to its unfortunate students), it was certainly fun and educational. To remember our experience at this great school, I present the WTFU Alma Mater, by Chris Conroy (refrain by Devin Goble):

WTFU Alma Mater

Hail to thee, O Double-U-Tee-Eff,
With brillant minds abound;
When True and False just weren't enough
You added File Not Found.

Proudly ignorant, havoc we wreak!
What is mem'ry and why does it leak?

Code then design, optimize and Mash!
We've learned from our teacher,
Our systems can never fail or crash.
It's all just a feature.

Proudly ignorant, havoc we wreak!
What is mem'ry and why does it leak?

Here enterprisey programs inflict
A special kind of hell:
All things are coded with Javascript,
Vee-Bee and X-eM-eL.

Proudly ignorant, havoc we wreak!
What is mem'ry and why does it leak?

Despite some huge security holes,
Graduates strike it rich.
While others check if isVeryNull()
And Payback's still a bitch.

Proudly ignorant, havoc we wreak!
What is mem'ry and why does it leak?

And when our coding days have passed us,
With hearts and minds isTrue(),
We'll fondly think of good ol' W.T.
And add a big F.U.

 

Don't worry, we'll return to the real world on Monday. Of course, I'll be on sabbatical, so Jake Vinson will take over next week. If you're really itching for some regular content, I've linked to some classic posts in the Alma Mater. And there's always the (un-edited) SideBar to check out.
