Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Started as a coder with my keyboard blazing fast
Built features line by line, thought those glory days would last
But titles shift and suddenly you're watching from above
Sixty percent still building, but there's more you're thinking of

[Chorus]
Sixty twenty ten and ten, that's the magic recipe
Building code and sketching plans, hiring strategically
When to write and when to guide, balance is the golden key
Sixty twenty ten and ten, sets your leadership free

[Verse 2]
Twenty percent for architecture, mapping out the maze
Drawing blueprints in the clouds, planning future days
Systems talking, data flowing, patterns you design
Step away from syntax details, see the broader line

[Chorus]
Sixty twenty ten and ten, that's the magic recipe
Building code and sketching plans, hiring strategically
When to write and when to guide, balance is the golden key
Sixty twenty ten and ten, sets your leadership free

[Bridge]
Ten percent for hiring talent, finding minds that spark
Another ten for strategy, illuminating paths through dark
Quarterly planning, market shifts, the vision you must steer
While your fingers itch for coding, your perspective must stay clear

[Verse 3]
Morning standup, code review, then architect at noon
Afternoon you're interviewing, strategy meeting soon
Context switching like a ninja, priorities in line
Know when debugging serves the team, when delegation shines

[Chorus]
Sixty twenty ten and ten, that's the magic recipe
Building code and sketching plans, hiring strategically
When to write and when to guide, balance is the golden key
Sixty twenty ten and ten, sets your leadership free

[Outro]
From terminal to boardroom, evolution's what you need
Balance building with the leading, plant tomorrow's seed
