More Vernacular from my office…

Coding by Braille: Making changes to logic or layout without being able to see the output.

Cowboy Coding: Coding like the rugged individuals did back in the oft-romanticized days of computer frontiers and lawlessness. No meetings, no committees, no bosses, just you and the vast, uncharted wilderness of a dev environment. Of course, in these ‘civilized’ times, Cowboy Coding is frowned upon at best and is a fire-able offense at worst.

Ninja Coding: Coding in a stealthy or hidden way. Specifically, making changes in a system in such a way as to not alert the users, owners or other developers of that system.

Pirate Coding: A mix of Cowboy and Ninja Coding with an added element of theft or plagiarism. Basically, how most ‘Fast Development’ happens.

Kraken Coding: the only thing that Pirates fear. A massive, system wide change that will have many known effects, but could also have countless, possibly horrific, UNknown effects as well. Named after the immense, multi-tentacled sea monster.ови услуги
