An affectionate term for a specific kind of underpaid, overworked (often by volition), increasingly underappreciated indentured servant, otherwise known as a Software Programmer.
Derrived from the Latin-Greek "Codex" and the Obsolete-Japanese "Donkey Kong San"
One who copies all code from other sources and prays that their code compiles. Normally used in a negative manner when used by more experienced programmers.

Programmer B: Oh my god did he use the same code more than 4 times in one method?
