coder's block 

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue writing code / programming.
I just can't figure out how to approach this new programming project. Should I use PHP? Should I build it myself or look for some libraries I can use? I think I have coder's block.

I've been struggling with coder's block for the past few weeks, and after staring blankly all day at some really ugly code I wrote a while back that uses PHP, MySQL, and regex, it finally started clicking with me again and I was able to update it. I got it back now, baby!

Shoulder Coder 

Someone who sits on your shoulder and directs you what to code. Usually these people don't understand that coding isn't as simple as pointing and directing what you want it to do. Coding requires thought, implentation and testing.

backseat coder 

Similar to a backseat driver or a backseat gamer.

One who perhaps is partaking in a beta of a computer game or piece of software and tries to advise the software development team on how the software should be written or repaired.

Basically an 'end user' who is not part of the company but has been asked for an opinion or recommendation about the software but then tries to go too far and gives advice on more than he was asked for.
Admin: "Sorry guys but we're working on a fix for the multiplayer problems, there'll be a server reset in 30 minutes"
User: "What was the problem? Did they forget to open the ports? Did they have to update the firmware? Was it a malloc() issue? Did they forget to re-route it via the proxy? Did they forget a header file? Did they integrate the right settings for UDP traffic?"
Admin: "Please, we don't need any backseat coders :) just wait like everyone else"
User: "Aww, I was only interested"
