Known Idiot

A person who is known for being wrong about everything that is worth having an opinion about.

If you have a plan you want to follow you should ask their opinion about the plan. If they hate it, then you should probably go ahead and implement the plan. If they love it, then you need to go back to the drawing board as your plan will have deficiencies that you haven't been able to see, but the Known Idiot will have detected and loved.
Programmer 1: John is our known idiot, can you ask him what he thinks of your software design before implementing it?
Programmer 2: I asked him already - he thought it was a great idea....so I'll throw that design away and start again, it's obviously full of bugs.

Rectoring

A shorter form of refactoring.

In software 'refactoring' code means changing the layout of the code, without changing it's behaviour.

Rectoring code means refactoring it with an automated tool rather than wasting time refactoring it by hand.
I think refactoring this code is going to take too long, and be prone to bugs. Rectoring it with an automated tool would take far less time and be far easier.

On the 3rd of May 1945, Allied forces, including the Indian 26th Division and a Gurkha parachute battalion, retook Rangoon from the Japanese ("Opration Dracula"), effectively ending #WW2 in Burma. Over Insein prison, planes spotted these messages by UK POWs ready for liberation: "Japs gone. Extract digit."
