20 Hilarious Programming Jargon Phrases You Should Use When Talking To Engineers

20 Hilarious Programming Jargon Phrases You Should Use When Talking To Engineers:
Jeff Atwood
Jeff Atwood, co-founder of question-and-answer site Stack Exchange, has a huge list of 30 new pieces of programming jargon that have emerged on the question-and-answer site.
Some of them are a bit obscure, but most of them are hilarious.
We've included some of the best ones below. You can check out the full list on his blog, Coding Horror.
  • Yoda Conditions: When a programmer writes the conditions for a piece of code in the opposite order for which you would expect to normally read them. (Instead of saying if(variable == constant), the code says if(constant == variable).)
  • Smug Report: A bug report submitted by a user who thinks he or she knows everything about a system, when he or she does not.
  • A duck: A feature added for the sole purpose of drawing attention to itself from management to be removed, avoiding unnecessary other changes in a product.
  • Refuctoring: Taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a small series of changes, making it completely unmaintainable for anyone other than yourself.
  • Heisenbug: A play on "Heisenberg," a principle in quantum mechanics, a Heisenbug is a bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when an attempt is made to study it.
  • Jimmy: A generalized name for a clueless or new developer.
  • Higgs Bugson: Another bug based on a physics phenomenon, a Higgs Bugson is a bug that's hypothetically predicted to exist based on other conditions, but is difficult to produce.
  • Unicorny: A feature so early in its planning stages that it might as well be imaginary.
  • hindenburgHindenbug: A catastrophic, data-destroying bug.
  • Fear-driven development: When project management adds more pressure, such as by firing engineers.
  • Hydra: A bug that, when an attempt to fix is made, introduces two new bugs. It's a bug that cannot be fixed.
  • Common Law Feature: A bug that has existed for so long that it is considered a feature.
  • Loch Ness Monster bug: A bug that has only been spotted by one person.
  • Rubberducking: Talking with other engineers to solve a problem. 
  • Banana banana banana: Placeholder text in code that hasn't been implemented yet.
  • Reality 101 failure: Creating a program that does exactly what was asked, but the problem it's trying to solve was misunderstood and the program is basically useless.
  • Mad girlfriend bug: When you see something strange is happening, but the software is telling you everything is fine.
  • Hooker code: Code that is problematic and causes application instability.
  • Jenga code: The whole program collapses once you alter a block of code.

Hey man I really like your videos but...... they are a bit all over the place. I WOULD LOVE IF you could make a playlist of how to programme in python or java. Or a playlist of advanced features of python or java. Just stick to one topic and make a lot of videos on it. This will not only boost your views but will make you more interesting.

I'm sorry I dont comprehend this XD
the only word I understood was "Shit" at about 8:00
X3
I just write some stuff and then go and compile it or interpret it and then take the errors and try to fix them myself and if I cant ill just google it XD.
