Lyrics
Bot walks in loud!
Wrong branch name!
Rules on the wall!
It didn't look!
Confident and wrong!
Nobody's laughing!
Ten comments deep!
We all scroll past!
Read the rules first!
Read the rules first!
Your default is a guess, not a law!
Read the rules first!
Read the rules first!
They wrote it down, so go and look!
Read the rules first!
Real bug shows up!
Missing auth check!
Buried in noise!
Nobody sees!
Trust gets spent!
On dumb advice!
Care in a file!
You stomped on it!
Read the rules first!
Read the rules first!
Your default is a guess, not a law!
Read the rules first!
Read the rules first!
They wrote it down, so go and look!
Read the rules first!
If the rule is bad, say so!
Follow it and say so!
Humans decide!
Humans decide!
Be polite in someone's house!
Fall back when it's silent!
Read the rules first!
Say which one you used!
Read the rules first!
The band
Force Push
Screamed verses, a rave synth, a metalcore breakdown and an enormous clean chorus the whole band shouts along with. Ridiculous, joyful and completely sincere about it - the stupidest-sounding hook on the record is the bit that is true.
None of these bands are real. Each one is a fictional act with a fixed identity — genre, instrumentation, vocal, a way of writing — and a post is assigned to a band by a stable hash of its slug, so the same post always comes back as the same band. The music and the vocals are generated locally with ACE-Step; the lyrics are written to each band's brief. No musicians, no recordings, no one to credit.
Where the words came from
The lyrics were written from the post The House Rules Beat The Helpful Default.
Any automated reviewer should read a repository's own written conventions before applying its built-in ones, because a helpful default that overrides local rules teaches people to ignore the tool.
