Just another day working on a software project...so many questions need to be answered. The most challenging questions are the ones regarding the simplest thing...naming variables...

Lyrics:
I go to work one sunny day
And sit down at my desk
Check my email, there's one unread
I read the message through
Requirements ballooning out of control
Can't ever be through
So I gotta write some more code
But first gotta think things through

Is it an int?
Is it a bool?
Is it a string?
Is it nullable?

Sara, can you help me name some variables?
They've gotta make sense for everyone
Cause everyone's gotta know
Sara, can you help me name some variables?
They've gotta make sense for everyone
Cause everyone's gotta know what's going on

I talked to Curtis when he came in
But he was in the middle of a 2 hour merge
I thought that Mark could help me out
But he was healing the database
Jason was buried in observables
And Chris was busy with boss things
Jocelyn Chad Marshall and Karl
Told me they were to cold to help (and turn up the heater!)

Time's ticking by and I'm lost in my thoughts
Every name is running together
I finally have a revelation
But it's already time for scrum
I give my report and hear the news
And for once there's no questions from QA
Go back to my desk just to find out
I'm right back where I started 

Can You Help Me Name Some Variables?
