"Meatball Programming" is to programming what "Meatball Surgery" was to surgery on the TV series M*A*S*H, which ran from 1972 to 1983.
It is a hasty, ad-hoc approach to coding in which quick fixes are implemented without proper planning, documentation, testing, or regard for long-term system stability. These fixes are pushed up to the Live environment in record time, and they are focused solely on immediate problem resolution.

Get the Meatball Programming mug.The art of creating applications for mobile devices, which can seem straightforward but often leads to confusion and frustration—especially for those who score an F, like I did, when faced with the intricacies of different platforms and coding languages.
Mobile Programming sounded fun until I got an E in the course; it turns out that juggling APIs, frameworks, and debugging is a lot harder than it seems!

Get the third party programs mug.The YouTube Partnership Program is an opportunity for YouTube users that, after surpassing a certain amount of subscribers and views, allows the user to profit off of advertising revenue and paid promotions. However, it was also mischievously designed to fuck over smaller channels that have not yet met their requirements to be eligible for the YouTube Partnership Program by cockweeds that only care about the product first and creativity second.
There are rumors that, long ago, the YouTube website actually rewarded creativity and originality. No complicated algorithms based on watch time and upload frequency that only seem to be programmed to benefit the advertisers that give YouTube money. No Paul brothers or RiceGums to plague the platform due to how these ridiculous algorithms work. No random users playing a monetization lottery and sometimes getting several videos deleted or even their entire channel suspended. Just a site of pure, wild fun for the world to enjoy and share.
But in any case, this is what we have now. Thanks.

Friend: "Hey, I heard you're eligible for the YouTube Partnership Program! That's awesome!"
User: "Actually, those regulations were just changed. Guess I'll have to post hundreds of vlogs and diss tracks to even stand a chance now."

Get the YouTube Partnership Program mug.A term originating in Ontario used to describe something useless.
A RIDE program is what DUI checkpoints are called in Ontario, since they oringinated in Etobicoke RIDE stands for Recuced Impaired Driving in Etobicoke which was later changed to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere once they became more widespread.
The joke among Ontario residents is that these RIDE programs (or whatever they happen to be called in Saskatchewan) would be absolutely useless in Saskatchewan as the province is so flat you would see the police lights from these roadblocks for miles away and easily be able to dodge them thus coining the phrase “as useful as a Saskatchewan RIDE program” to describe a useless person or object.
