Stackoverflow has a great list of terms programmers have come up with where the standard jargon just didn’t cut it. A few gems in here, see if you can guess what the following might be:
- Yoda conditions – arrg, right up there with with leaving off the ?> in PHP, “training wheels best practices” …
- shrug report – I get this on a daily basis
- Egyptian brackets
- Refuctoring – one word speaks volumes
- Stringly typed – one of my favs – check out Yii framework if you’re unfamiliar with the concept
- Heisenbug – an old and painful classic, I get them all the time
- Fear Driven Development – I think we’ve all been there
- Baklava code – this one is just begging to enter your vocabulary
