Development Opportunity

Basically a shit sandwich served up at your work by a senior manager, who calls it a 'development opportunity' to relieve their conscience as they should be performing this task themselves.

Manager - "I have a development opportunity for you, could you please do (insert mundane task here)?"
You - "Fuck!"

business development officer

Some asshole in a suit who thinks hes classy, but in reality, its the biggest dick known to mankind. They try to fool you with their smart title, because they dont want it revealed that they are low rent scum, much like used car salesmen and Bobblett Brothers Trucking out of Lexington Kentucky.

That guys card said he was a business development officer, but I think hes a real fuckin dick.

menu driven development

The practice of developing a Drupal-based website.

When building a website with the Drupal CMS, a great deal of time is spent configuring options inside of administration menu. There is a module, Views, which is devoted to building a menu-driven system for generating queries on the database. Much time is spent clicking buttons and fiddling drop-downs, when the audience for this system is capable of writing their own database queries. Thus, building a website in Drupal is an example of menu driven development.
