Project Alpha for Client A, Project Beta for Client B — same design, they can NEVER know about each other. Ctrl+H is my best friend!

📝 LYRICS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Wait, which client is THIS for again?"

Got Project Alpha on my Monday screen
Project Beta's due by Wednesday, if you know what I mean
Both clients think they're getting something brand new
But it's the same damn design, just painted different hue!

Client A can't know about Client B
They're competitors, you see!
But ninety percent is copy-paste delight
I just gotta make sure the names are right!

Find and Replace!
Ctrl+H is my best friend!
Alpha becomes Beta
Hope I got 'em all by the end!

It's the NDA Masquerade, baby, dancing on a wire!
One wrong reference and my career's on fire!
Juggling confidential, keeping secrets tight
Praying that I caught every mention before I hit send tonight!

Swing through the document one more time!
Make sure Client A's name doesn't cross the line!
'Cause if they see their rival's project code
This whole house of cards is gonna EXPLODE!

Drawing number says For Project Beta Use
But this package goes to Alpha - oh, what's the use?
White-Out on the PDF, redact and pray
That nobody notices it's the same array!

Section 3.2 references Client B's spec
I'm sweating bullets, what the heck!
Delete! Revise! Renumber the whole thing!
Before this confidential chaos makes the phone ring!

Monday: Alpha wants a status call
Tuesday: Beta needs it all
Wednesday: I'm checking footnotes, losing my mind
Thursday: Found Project A in the Beta design!

FIND AND REPLACE! FIND AND REPLACE!
This engineering confidence game's a disgrace!
My firm's making money on both these fools
But I'm the one following NDA rules!

Email draft to Client A - looks clean and bright
Attachment says Beta_Final - WAIT, NOT RIGHT!
Delete! Rename! Check metadata too!
'Cause legal's gonna kill me if this slips through!

Both signed NDAs thick as a brick
But cross-contamination's just one click!
I'm sanitizing, redacting, covering tracks
While management smiles, counting the stacks!

It's the NDA Masquerade, sugar, and I'm losing my grip!
One careless reference and I'm gonna slip!
Confidential confusion, secrets to keep
While I'm copy-pasting in my sleep!

Dance through the documents, check every line!
Make sure the competitor names don't intertwine!
'Cause when you're selling similar solutions twice
You better be VERY precise!

"Package sent to Alpha - clean!"
"Wait... did I update the title block?!"
"Nobody saw anything..."

WHY THIS SONG EXISTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Two competing clients, same design, 90% copy-paste. My job? Make sure Client A never sees "Project B" anywhere. Once I sent a drawing with the wrong title block. Longest 30 seconds of my life before I recalled that email.
