code senescence

The process by which unmaintained computer code degrades to a non-working state over time.

I have a presentation in 5 minutes, and my 3 month old code has undergone code senescence

cover smother

To destroy an original song by producing a poor quality cover version of it, i.e., "smothering" the original song.

1: That Eric Clapton band did a cover smother of Layla, it made my eardrums bleed.

2: Not another electronica dance cover smother of a Muse song!

code spaghetti

A less common nearly synonymous expression of "spaghetti code": in programming and computer language, a poorly programmed piece of code, which does barely work, but it's very long and convoluted (like the pasta itself) and thus hard to disentangle and debug. (This variant expression could also refer to the effects of said code.)

The devs removed that feature because it was pure bloat. Nobody really used it and it was causing all kinds of code spaghetti. {This is an adapted snippet from an actual email message!}
