Claude Hog

A developer who deploys Claude API calls with reckless abandon, burning through the team's monthly token budget in days, leaving their teammates staring at rate-limit errors and existential dread.
Those devs over there are a bunch of Claude Hogs who eat up (consume) all of the tokens within days of us getting them.

Muckracking

The act of installing tired, low-grade machines into a data center or co-location because the IT boss is either: 1) too cheap 2) certified in name-only, or 3) easily swayed by the salesperson that flew in with hookers and cocaine.
I'm going to be up all night muckracking these PowerEdge 1950's we got stuck with for Exchange servers.

brocursion

Having your idea completely ignored by a group, then later repeated by someone else in the group.
After which, that person who repeated what you said gets credit for your idea, and is met with wild acceptance.
I explained a workaround for a known bug, and heard nothing but a room full of crickets.
Twenty minutes later, Eric re-explained my workaround as if it were his idea, and the room lit up with excitement.
It was at that point, I realized that I was another victim of brocursion.
