Programmer

An individual skilled at writing software code.

Neo-programmers are unlike computer nerds of the past. These new programmers are numerous, travel in groups, and can be easily identified by scruffy hair accompanied with a goatee. Most enjoy arguing with you about the minutia of life. Eating habits are poor, which generally leads to moderate or severe potbelly.

Programmers also enjoy other activities, including online poker, Halo 3, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and playing guitar.

They can sometimes be abrasive due to poor underlying social skills. For example, every joke a programmer tells is specifically designed to make sense only to other programmers. This makes attracting females difficult, which can easily be fixed by meeting women through an online service.

Garota de Programa

From Brazilan Portuguese, it translates into English as a "young girl of the program", in this case the "program" refers to their welfare program.

With already high unemployment, a young girl on welfare with children to feed, spare time and limited skills might turn to the oldest profession on the planet.
"Ela esta uma garota de programa?"
"Nao, ela esta uma trabalhadora normal."

"Is she a prostitute?"
"No, she works a normal job."

or,

"Ela esta uma garota?"
"Is she a young girl?"
(It is retorical, she is obviously an extremely pretty young girl, so the question really is: "Will she expect to be paid?"

Or more directly,

"Ela faz o programa?"
"Does she work the program"

Programming

Basically, telling your computer to do stuff using a programming language. As long as the computer understands the code, it will execute the command blindly.
I tried reprogramming Windows and my computer crashed.
I programmed my computer to overclock itself.
I programmed my computer to create and save files on my hard drive. For some reason, it stopped working...

Rockstar Programmer

A rockstar programmer is a programmer who becomes popular not because of technical achievement, but rather by the volume of fanboys who blindly consume his/her products. He or she poses in numerous techie magazines, giving interviews about nothing but Web 2.0 poetry, and attending totally useless "conventions".

paid programming

Euphemism for the mindless infomercials or infotainment that you see on TV in the wee hours of the morning on many cable channels. Often consists of BS about products you wouldn't even THINK of buying.
If you wake up at 6 AM and you want to watch some good film on cable TV, forget it: you'll only see that damn paid programming.

real programmer

some old fart(usually 40-60 years old) that started with programming back in the 50s-60s-70s, and only codes in machine code(or with bin and hexa...and MAYBE Assembly if he's feeling lazy).
they usually hate most of the "new" stuff like IDE, and newer languages...

google "Story of Mel" and "real programmer" for more info ;)
(on some public internet forum)
