Developer Coffee

In a highly focused developer environment, the coffee pot tends to get cold before anyone remembers to drink the coffee. Within development teams around, the word "Developer Coffee" surfaced as a way to describe a tepid or cold pot of coffee.

Should we drink the developer coffee now, or draw a new pot?

Development Tourettes

Development Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, often seen in Computer Programmers and Software Engineers. Most often it is associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks while engrossed in an especially crap piece of code. Usually sufferers are unaware that they are actually talking outloud.

An annoyed programmer with Development Tourettes will often be found randomly swearing and screaming at their computer, in such a state of rage that they will not realise they are saying anything.

Developer Friendly

User Friendly is a common phrase to describe software that is user friendly. Developer Friendly would be used to describe the opposite. Seems corporate software is being written and developed by millenials that are thinking how quick their week is going to be since they don't work more than a few hours, from home, Tuesday till noon Friday.
Write it, test it, critique it, publish it. Well that is easy to use, I'll roll it out Monday.

Dustin: Steve, did you see the new IT request for a company assigned cell phone?

Steve: Sure did Dustin, I couldn't figure out which one I needed, a cell phone a smartphone or a mobile phone.

Dustin: For sure.....dude that developed the software knows how to use it.....he made it "Developer Friendly" not "User Friendly".
