That lyric is from the song "It's time" from one of my favorite band, Imagine Dragons. Many aspiring developers have watched other get their call and we remained patiently waiting for ours. Hundreds of application rejections and hours of calls with recruiters that lead to no where - nothing but clouded hell. It's time. Enjoy the episode :)
