fortress code

Atrociously written code that is only used or kept around because other code or systems rely on it.

Person A: Work today was rough. Someone threw together a program last week that takes minutes to organize files and we were told to use it.
Person B: Are you not allowed to change it?
Person A: Nope; it's fortress code at this point. Our boss replaced the computer's file manager with the program, and any change made to it would brick the computer.

hot code push

In web development, when a web developer requires to see changes made in code quickly, they use applications that provide the mechanism called Hot Code Push. Applications or libraries that support this mechanism offer quicker development. This mechanism is mostly seen to be in use during front-end Web Development or web designing.

"As a Web Designer I rely on gruntJs a lot as it speeds up my work due to its hot code push functionality. Restarting the server after every change used to be real hectic."
