Rebound Developer 

Also known as "Rebound Programmer ". Software developers who receives tasks not accomplished by other developers.. Ex: John is assigned a difficult task, he can't do it that's why the team leader will just assign it to the Rebound Developer who receives all the tasks their other team mates don't like..
John: i cannot make this. :-(

Team lead: ok, i will just assign it to the Rebound Developer

Rebound Developer: new task assigned.. *checks history * wtf man.. To me again?! What are the other members doing?! I am such a Rebound Developer! That's the reason im quitting here!!

deseloper 

Ridiculous term business-types came up with to describe someone who both "designs" and "develops." Of course, this sort of awkward portmanteau never catches on with anyone literate, so its utterance serves as a sort of warning that the utterer lives in a childish linguistic world separate from our own, where saying words and phrases such as "deseloper," "brainwidth," "heat map," "e-learning" gives them an e-woody.
We need a deseloper on our team to accelerate our e-learning initiative and actionize our web 3.0 presence on the social grid.

Developer Coffee 

In a highly focused developer environment, the coffee pot tends to get cold before anyone remembers to drink the coffee. Within development teams around, the word "Developer Coffee" surfaced as a way to describe a tepid or cold pot of coffee.
Should we drink the developer coffee now, or draw a new pot?

Developer Friendly 

User Friendly is a common phrase to describe software that is user friendly. Developer Friendly would be used to describe the opposite. Seems corporate software is being written and developed by millenials that are thinking how quick their week is going to be since they don't work more than a few hours, from home, Tuesday till noon Friday.
Write it, test it, critique it, publish it. Well that is easy to use, I'll roll it out Monday.
Dustin: Steve, did you see the new IT request for a company assigned cell phone?

Steve: Sure did Dustin, I couldn't figure out which one I needed, a cell phone a smartphone or a mobile phone.

Dustin: For sure.....dude that developed the software knows how to use it.....he made it "Developer Friendly" not "User Friendly".

Developer lunch 

An extended lunch break as favored by software developers. Often runs to 3hrs and is typically followed by up to 2hrs of non-work related conversation, e.g. regarding favorite cheeses, upon finally returning to the office. Heartily ignored by management who would clamp down on any other department taking such a lax attitude to work.
Jojo has gone for a developer lunch at the KFC 5miles away so don't expect to get that critical bug fixed this afternoon.
