The SIDGS is a program at the University of Ottawa in international development. It attracts the largest number of students in the whole faculty of social sciences.
It is known for its contingent of English Canadian hippies and Franco Ontarians who don't know what to do with their life but want to travel and want to get through university without learning anything too rough. In between two joints they learn to hate the IMF and the World Bank and that participatory research methods is THE shit. After four years they also finally realise that international development is a load of crap, and they should study something else if they want a good job.
The profs in the SIDGS are an amalgation of academics and field practitioners, mostly all Marxist. Is it thought that there are two factions within the SIDGS Marxist group, a maoist one led informally by an old development worker, and a Trotskyist one led by an old sociology professor who is plotting to take over the SIDGS to turn it into a revolutionary unit. When a large enough number of DVM alumni realise they can't get a job, they will most likely join this organization to become the cannon fodder of the revolution.

Teacher's Assistant: So did anyone read the text for today?
Most students: No...
TA: Can someone who read it sum it up? (i.e. the TA doesn't understand shit about DVM either...)
One student: Yeah, it says the IMF f**ked all the development in Africa and they're full of shit.
TA: (reading the text) Yes... yes you're right that's what it said.

Dude, the unicorn developer in your team farted out the most elegant code ever. Made my work stuff look like dog shit.

A software engineer who deliberately avoids traditional coding methods in favor of letting AI generate all parts of their program or application. They follow the philosophy of "make code based on what you feel" rather than writing it themselves, preferring to describe their vision to AI tools which then handle the actual implementation from start to finish.
My friend became an Aura Developer last month and hasn't written a single function since - he just describes what he wants to ChatGPT and lets the AI handle all the coding work.

Quantum Science Incorporated's Development Transparency is Semi-Transparent, because they show sneak peeks of some parts of the stuff that they are working on. They do not show everything that is being developed.
However, some groups Development Transparency is at its full, because they show every thing that is being worked on, and all the progress that is being made.
Some groups have absolutely no Development Transparency, and update the game by surprise.
