development by secrecy

The act or practice of fixing existing problems in an application without
ever notifying users/testers that they were there.

Junior dev: "I just found a JavaScript error in my application, and managed to fix it before the QA testers found it!"
Senior dev: "Man, that's a bad idea. Development by Secrecy will bite you in the butt eventually."

serial developer

A person who is continually developing, selling and moving to a new 'home' as often as the tax laws allow them. Superficial neighbour with no real interest in community who uses their home as a way to climb the social ladder and/or make money. For example, may sell and move house every 13 months, if the law requires them to stay over 12 months to avoid paying a tax on the profit from its sale.

Partner1: I met the new neighbours today at the old place over the road, they seemed nice but were keen to tell me all about themselves...

Partner2: Yeah, we I talked on the weekend - I gather they dont plan to stay, if they do to what they did to their last place - they are just serial developers, it seems to me.

aura developer

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.
