Software term, a portmanteau combining "Claude" and "idiot." Claude refers to Claude Code, an AI based coding tool from Anthropic. A Claudiot is a very unskilled, unintelligent developer who thinks using Claude will somehow make them intelligent, which in fact it does not.
"No one looked at this code, it was written by some Claudiot and never reviewed."
