Programmatic Prostitute

Someone who uses a job to work on something other than that job. Someone who lies about where they are, claiming they are doing their job. Someone who claims hours on a time card that can't possibly be true.
A: Dan said he worked from home on Saturday for 26 hours!

B: Really? John said he saw him out looking at used cars this weekend.

A: Do you think he is claiming hours and he is not working?

B: Oh he may be busy, but not at the job he was hired to do. I am sure his Doctoral Dissertation will be the best in his graduating class based on the hours he’s claiming.

A: He's a real programmatic prostitute.

"Programmagically" also means the code works, but you are unsure why it works, when it looks wrong, therefore there is some magic happening.
The code we need will programmagically match a street address to the customer's name, because the there is no way to relate them.
