CGI Joe: A hard-core CGI script programmer with all the social skills and charisma of a plastic action figure.
COM-plicate: To simplify code design by heavy use of COM (Common Object Model).
Crapplet: A badly written or profoundly useless applet.
Egosurfing: Scanning the Net, databases, print media, or research papers looking for the mention of your name.
Grandmanager: My manager’s manager. Great-grandmanager: My grandmanager’s manager.
Meeting Seconds: Compressed minutes, such as, 1. Bob is going to Taiwan. 2. No new showstopper bugs. 3. Pizza was late.
Monkey Testing: Giving a product to a novice without any intro/docs. From the old American Tourister ads, where they “monkey-tested” their luggage by giving it to a gorilla to play with.
Repro: Short for reproducible. "Is that bug repro?" or "How repro is it?"
Server: Fictional central computer designed to provide employees with a sure-fire excuse for failing to meet deadlines. ”I would have finished but the damn server’s been down all morning.”
Slack: Used by devs to refer to a group of three or more program managers. (“Look! A slack of PMs grazing at the Espresso Bar.”)
Slip: Used by PMs to refer to a group of three or more developers. (“I was caught in an elevator with a slip of devs. Fortunately, they were mesmerized by the flashing floor numbers.”)
Vulcan Nerve Pinch: The taxing hand position required to reach all of the appropriate keys for certain commands. For instance, the warm reboot for a Mac II computer involves simultaneously pressing the Control key, the Command key, the Return key, and the Power On key.
