Steampunk Samurai

A variant of the steampunk genre, primarily based in the era of Samurai rule in Japan.

Steampunk Samurai versus medieval steampunk would make for an interesting visual delight.

Steampunk Codebase

A collection of code that works but is clearly the sole result of necessity, genius, or insanity. Steampunked code typically combines odd technologies and libraries in a way that makes an engineer do a double-take. Also characterized as a collection of code components that engender a response of "WTF?" by new codebase participants due to it not being apparent why the fuck someone would do such a thing. Steampunk codebases, when not rationalizable as truly necessary, drive good software engineers nuts in a visceral, usually quite loud, manner and can result in rebellion and heavy attrition if not addressed responsibly.

"Take a look at this steampunk codebase! Can you believe this shipped? I can't figure out whether the programmer who wrote this nuts or genius."

steampunk

Steampunk (verb). To take a shit in the same bathroom that someone is showering in. The heat and the steam activate the dookie particles and intensify the smell.

My little brother steampunked me while I was showering this morning.
