He sells nix shells on the corpo shore
But the value of nix shells will fall
Due to the laws of supply and demand
No one wants to buy shells when you can write them on demand

Step 1, you must create a sense of scarcity
Nix will sell much better if they think security's rare, you see
Bare with me, 
Take as many features as you can find and hide 'em in a repo 
stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than a diamond

Step 2, you gotta make the corpos think that they want 'em
Really want 'em, really fucking want 'em
Hit 'em like Ballmer
Codefluencers, conference statements, featured podcast entertainment
If you haven't got determinate then you're just a fucking waste man

Three, it's monopoly, join the venture cap economy, 
Start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly
"Nixpkgs for sale", that will be your new philosophy 
Swallow all your morals they're a poor man's quality

Four, extinguish, embrace, expand, 
Steal features, steal infra, fresh blood on hand

Five, why just nix-shell? 
Why limit yourself? 
He consults for target, consult for oil as well!

Six, guns, sell drones, sell surveilance, sell stocks
Sell installers to the distro
Sell your cache as flakehub

Seven, press on the gas, blog about your sabotage, 
Then portray yourself as the official version of the cache

Eight, big smile mate, gaslight that's great
Now the truth is overated, tell lies out the gate

Nine, polarize the users, controversy is the game
If don't matter if they're sexists if they all say your name

Ten, the world is your, go on podcasts for a round of applause
You're a has'been, a sellout, a corpo, a shame
And you sold NixOS to Defence, lame!
