I hang out at a Java game programming forum and this was posted there. So share it with you're favorite programmer.

It's a really cute song. I was surprised--I thought it would be a comedic song, but it's actually kinda heart-warming. It's a bit misleading though, as anyone who's worked around coders know, they aren't all fuzzy and cute and simple--some are...well, you know.

Well I thought it was sort of funny, Like when Homer Simpson says "Its funny because its true" This song is also a bit sad too, work is desrepected, socially awkward, but hopeful for the future.

Not all coders are the same as you say, some seem perfectly normal. In the early days of Turbine games one of the coders slept in a closet as his permanent home.

Oh and I really like the wording. The way he made the singer talk a monkey, leaving out words like "a" "the" etc...
