Bar code

Is that how you think a bar code works? What do you think a bar code does?

Hym "A bar code necessarily aligns with a SPECIFIC ITEM. If you pick up a can of diet Coke... And scan the bar code... And what comes up on the register is, instead, can of beans then the bar code is USELESS. Therefore, the problem (for you) is not that you do not have the bar code but, rather, the bar code is absolutely meaning TO YOU because you are not that which aligns with the bar code. And...

hobo code

Alternative words or phrases used by content creators to avoid having their accounts deleted from big tech platforms. A form of self censorship.

Originally, signs or symbols left around towns or in the countryside by hobos to send messages or warnings to other hobos.

In order to avoid the censorship algorithm I had to speak in hobo code.

Preppy Code

Heavy use of proprietary code and technologies in a project/solution

Joe is such a preppy coder, he can't write anything without using the newest whatever from company x.

I really don't know why they've use technology x from company x it would have been much simpler to write one or two functions of their own.

Code Three

Code 3 are a series of hospital codes that basically mean “other specified emergency.” The exact codes vary by hospital but they most commonly include:

- anesthesia: surgery fuck up
- IV therapy: emergency meds needed
- stroke activation team: self explanatory

- blood bank: self explanatory

- EKG: cardiac arrhythmia emergency

- echo: other cardiac emergency

- laboratory: emergency diagnostics
- House nurse: CPR team on standby
- Star: severe injury acquired in the hospital

Me : *going into surgery* “Damn I’m real nervous.”

Nurse: “well don’t be, surgical mistakes are almost unheard of in this hospital.”

Intercom: “code three, anesthesia.”

Me: “well fuck.”

duct tape code

Code that just about works, hanging together from borrowed code, ineffective classes and functions.

Often this is the result of bad planning, or an iterative approach to fixing bugs over time.

Alan: How does this code you wrote work?
Ada: No clue, I wrote it 6 months ago and has become duct tape code.
