Peace For Our Time Programming. Term used within information technology (IT).

A programming style which is solely focused on solving the functional issue fast rather than solving the issue and technically maintaining the software at the same time.

PFOTP initially makes everyone happy. The software developer himself is happy that he has finished his work in such a short time and, for the time being, has solved the bug. His manager is happy that he just reached another target. And the customer is happy with the renewed functionality.

Still, the chosen solution is a small investment in the decay of the software module. Within time, small pieces of rotten quick-win solutions will help it deteriorate more and more. Though the complexity of the functionality stays the same, technically it is becoming more and more unreliable until it is payback time and all hell breaks loose.

Eventually a co-worker has to rewrite all the mess.
Now let me see...

If we take Hitler as the bug and Chamberlain as the programmer, Sudetenland as the chosen PFOTP solution, the British people as customers and all the allied forces as co-workers...

Would that clarify things a bit?

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
