Autograder (Judge, Jury, Executioner)

[Verse 1] I hit submit, I hold my breath, A tiny test decides my death. Zero out of ten, same old song, Machine says "fail" - can't prove it wrong. I scroll through red, the shame parade, A digital god I never made. Perfection's just a passing grade, And I'm the bug it loves to flay. [Pre-Chorus] No mercy in its iron eyes, Just numbers, rules, and alibis. [Chorus] Autograder - judge, jury, executioner, Spits my worth out in a blur. No curve, no grace, no human hand, Just me against its master plan. Autograder, cold and sure, Keeps my confidence insecure. You can test my code, not me, I'm more than what you see. [Verse 2] T A says "it works on mine," I laugh so I don't cross the line. "Check your edge case," "read the spec," My self-esteem's a syntax wreck. I wrote the logic, bled the proof, But truth is buried in the roof. It's not my bug, it's just the game, Still, I feel the failing flame. [Pre-Chorus] I want to throw my grade away, And build my worth some other way. [Chorus] Autograder - judge, jury, executioner, Spits my worth out in a blur. No curve, no grace, no human hand, Just me against its master plan. Autograder, cold and sure, Keeps my confidence insecure. You can test my code, not me, I'm more than what you see. [Bridge] Maybe I'll write my own machine, One that sees the space between. Not pass or fail, but tried and learned, Where errors aren't the way I'm burned. Maybe I'll change the script it reads, Compile compassion into its needs. [Chorus] Autograder - judge, jury, executioner, You won't define my signature. No curve, no grace, no binary end, I'll write my code to transcend. Autograder, cold and sure, I'm the bug that found its cure. You can test my code, not me, I'm rewriting what I'll be. [Outro] Ten out of ten means nothing now, I pass myself, I take a bow. Print "Success" - I've made it clear, The human runs the program here.
