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.

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.

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.

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.
