[Verse 1] When a developer walks away from their desk for the last time Leaving code reviews and standups far behind There's a moment for reflection on the journey they've made Like a retrospective for the choices that they've played The exit interview becomes a healing space Where career stories find their proper place [Chorus] What went well, what didn't go so right What would you change if you could rewrite What are you taking as you move ahead Four questions dancing in your head Exit interview, therapeutic frame Familiar format, healing all the same [Verse 2] Developers know post-mortems when systems break down They're comfortable with looking at what came unwound So when career transitions leave them feeling lost Structure helps them process what the change has cost Map their working narrative onto something known Turn professional reflection into wisdom grown [Chorus] What went well, what didn't go so right What would you change if you could rewrite What are you taking as you move ahead Four questions dancing in your head Exit interview, therapeutic frame Familiar format, healing all the same [Bridge] From sprints to career arcs From bugs to personal marks The same framework applies When you're ready to analyze Safe and familiar ground Where deeper truth is found [Verse 3] The good times and the struggles both deserve their space Technical victories and interpersonal disgrace Lessons learned from failures make the strongest code Carrying forward wisdom lightens up the load Career narratives constructed brick by brick Using tools that make the process somehow click [Final Chorus] What went well, what didn't go so right What would you change if you could rewrite What are you taking as you move ahead Four questions dancing in your head Exit interview, therapeutic frame Healing happens when we name the game [Outro] When developers transition Use familiar disposition Four questions, clear and true Help them process something new
