devsplaining

When a software developer explains why the application (formally known as, 'teh codes') acts in a certain way that is surprising to the non-technical user.

Often the engineer will accidentally come off as arrogant or boorish. This may be to compensate for the fact they are trying to pass off a bug as intended behavior.... or that they are just as confused by this behavior as the end-user.

parallel to mansplaining or mansplain

Dev's block

Short for "developer's block", a state of mind where a software developer is trying to design and develop a piece of software for a certain purpose, but is struggling to write the necessary code. This is essentially a technical version of writer's block and artist's block.

Manager: Hi, how's the source code for next project coming along?

Intern, almost crying: I- I don't know! I'm so sorry, I'm stuck on the 413th line! This is nothing like any of my classes!

Software Engineer: hey hey hey, relax. RELAX. It's just a little bit of dev's block. You'll be fine. Just take a little break and come back to it later.
