Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Platform migration looms ahead, servers hum their switching song
Database calls and API threads, what will break when we move along?
Five symptoms plague our current code, errors scattered through the stack
Time to ask the question bold: which ones follow when we pack?

[Chorus]
Which symptoms survive the great divide?
Which problems cross from old to new?
Platform changes, but some things hide
Deep in logic, not the glue
Ask the question, find the core
What's the platform, what's the flaw?
Surface issues fade away
Core problems always stay

[Verse 2]
Timeout errors on the edge, network latency shows its face
Memory leaks that slowly pledge to crash with insufficient space
Null exceptions fill the logs, business rules that twist and bend
Sort the wheat from all the cogs, know which issues truly transcend

[Chorus]
Which symptoms survive the great divide?
Which problems cross from old to new?
Platform changes, but some things hide
Deep in logic, not the glue
Ask the question, find the core
What's the platform, what's the flaw?
Surface issues fade away
Core problems always stay

[Bridge]
Infrastructure masks the truth
Algorithm flaws run deep
Hardware quirks may seem aloof
But logic errors always seep
Through every migration wall
Every server, every call

[Verse 3]
Managers must learn to see past the surface-level pain
Which defects will guarantee to haunt the new domain?
Platform-bound or platform-free, that's the lens to diagnose
Business logic holds the key to problems nobody outgrows

[Chorus]
Which symptoms survive the great divide?
Which problems cross from old to new?
Platform changes, but some things hide
Deep in logic, not the glue
Ask the question, find the core
What's the platform, what's the flaw?
Surface issues fade away
Core problems always stay

[Outro]
Before aligned systems sing
Aligned thinking takes the stage
Migration won't fix everything
Turn the diagnostic page
