Part 1#

Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on screen.
I said I’m going back,
She said “Shut up and compile with me”.
Mainline kernel is my destiny,
She said “Woo-oh-ohh---”
Shut up and compile with me !


We're programmers for the night,
The proxies, servers ready to start.
Help with documents inside my head.
I know, we're bound to test together,
Bound to debug together.

She took my phone,
I don't know how it happen.
She plug in the cable and she said--

Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on screen.
I said I’m going back,
She said “Shut up and compile with me”.
Mainline kernel is my destiny,
She said “Woo-oh-ohh---”
Shut up and compile with me !

Part 2#

After too many software tests,
My Pinephone, almost bricked,
needs reflash.
She formatted a SD card and give it to me.
I know, we’re bound to test together,
Bound to debug together.


She took my phone,
I don't know how it happen.
She plug in the cable and she said--

Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on screen.
I said I’m going back,
She said “Shut up and compile with me”.
Mainline kernel is my destiny,
She said “Woo-oh-ohh---”
Shut up and compile with me !


Oh come on girls !




Part 3#

Deep in its logs,
I think I see a sparkle.
I realized, the kernel started.
She took my phone,
I don’t know how it happen.
She plug in the cable and she said—

Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on screen.
I said I’m going back,
She said “Shut up and compile with me”.
Mainline kernel is my destiny,
She said “Woo-oh-ohh---”
Shut up and compile !

Part 4#

Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on screen.
I said I’m going back,
She said “Shut up and compile with me”.
Mainline kernel is my destiny,
She said “Woo-oh-ohh---”
Shut up and compile with me !


"Woo-oh-ohh---"
Shut up and compile with me !

"Woo-oh-ohh---"
Shut up and compile with me !
