programming socks

Programming socks are long tubular socks typically 60cm - 80cm (24" - 31") in length from the heel. Contrary to popular belief such socks are more popular with men than women. Additionally, the socks inhibit a buff increasing the naturally occurring levels of dopamine causing a chain reaction leading to increased coding ability in lower-level programming languages such as Assembly or the C languages. Programming socks are highly correlated with the crossdressing, femboy, trans and programming community.

Astolfo: ugh, this code just doesn't make sense, why are the pointers not working?!?
Felix: Bro, you forgot your programming socks.
Astolfo: Shoot, one second.
... Some time passes and Astolfo puts on his programming socks ...
Astolfo: pff, this was an easy fix, how couldn't I see I needed to use an asterisk? Thanks for reminding me, Felix.

Programmer

A programmer is a human, rock, or any other object capable of turning pizza and caffeine into code. Programmers minds are very complex - they like to explain things in ways that a normal human would not understand, and makes jokes that only programmers would laugh at.

Programmer 1: You create a gun module, a gun class, a foot module and a foot class. After realising you can't point the gun at the foot, you pass a reference to the gun to a foot object. After the foot is blown up, the gun object remains alive for eternity, ready to shoot all future feet that may happen to appear.

Programmer 2: BWAHAHAHAHAAHHA

Programmer 1: I even have one about Java!
You find that Microsoft and Sun have released imcompatible class libraries both implementing Gun objects. You then find that although there are plenty of feet objects implemented in the past in many other languages, you cannot get access to one. But seeing as Java is so cool, you dont care and go around shooting anything else you can find.

programming hipster

A software programmer that probably writes in Ruby, JavaScript or some other "popular but nonetheless probably crap" language. Typically more "artsy fartsy" types than an actual computer scientist. Millennial generation. Street clothing at all times. Hardware stack is entirely Apple-based. High concentrations exist in Shoreditch of London and Bay Area of San Francisco.

I went to a software conference last week and there was so many programming hipsters there talking about their shitty dynamically typed languages.

Ghost Programmer

In software development, "Ghost Programmer" is a programmer that works for another person's task and receives no credit. This applies for programmers who doesn't have any project assigned to him/her; yet he is forced to join a certain team in a project and works for them secretly making sure the client would not know. When a ghost programmer finished his assigned task, the name/credits that will be written in the code and the document is the one who was originally assigned to that certain task.

Boss: Our project is delayed. We need help from someone. John, can you help with this bug fix?
John: Sure.

After 4 hours..

John: Boss, i'm finished.
Boss: Okay, since you're a ghost programmer, the client should not know about it.. So, the name you should write on the code and the document is the programmer who is originally assigned to it. Okay? :)
John: Okay. (Man! I'm such a ghost programmer. I also want some credits.. )

detailed programmatic specificity

something the Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, says in speeches. Problem is no-one knows what it means.

"No idea what detailed programmatic specificity means." - Mr Turnbull
