backseat coder

Similar to a backseat driver or a backseat gamer.

One who perhaps is partaking in a beta of a computer game or piece of software and tries to advise the software development team on how the software should be written or repaired.

Basically an 'end user' who is not part of the company but has been asked for an opinion or recommendation about the software but then tries to go too far and gives advice on more than he was asked for.

Admin: "Sorry guys but we're working on a fix for the multiplayer problems, there'll be a server reset in 30 minutes"
User: "What was the problem? Did they forget to open the ports? Did they have to update the firmware? Was it a malloc() issue? Did they forget to re-route it via the proxy? Did they forget a header file? Did they integrate the right settings for UDP traffic?"
Admin: "Please, we don't need any backseat coders :) just wait like everyone else"
User: "Aww, I was only interested"

Codger

The origin of codger seems to lie in the complex links between cadger and codger (not as a contraction of 'coffin-dodger', as one of my more inventive correspondents has suggested). In some parts of England the two words were used interchangeably, whereas in other regions they were separate words, one meaning 'beggar' and the other 'eccentric/grotesque fellow'. The latter meaning is the one used in an early example of 'old codger', David Garrick's farce Bon Ton, 1775:

"My Lord's servants call you an old out-of-fashion'd Codger."

Men who had fallen on hard times and had resorted to any means possible to keep body and soul together were often those who were too old to find work. A cadger was likely to be a grizzled character wanting to borrow or steal from you; a codger was a peculiar and unfashionable chap, and both were likely to be old. 'Old codger' is most likely to be the linguistic merging of all those images.

coders glaze

The distant stare coupled with a lack of motivation to sleep, eat, or defecate. This state is usually brought on by all night coding sessions trying to chase after that last bug. Applicable to web and application programmers alike.

When they finally broke down the door, they found poor Joe long gone his face frozen in a classic coders glaze fingers still grasping the mouse as an angry 404 error stared back at him from the screen.
