In software engineering, the point of inelegance when a codebase will collapse in on itself like a mud house. It is conceptually similar to the Chandrasekhar Limit, the mass above which a star can collapse into a black hole.
A codebase that has surpassed the adobe threshold cannot be completely understood at one time, because its complexity is too much for someone to keep in their head. This can lead to additional problems ranging from duplicated code to whole systems that do nothing but fight each other.
Collapsed codebases are not maintainable, which means they cannot have bugs fixed or functionality added. Engineers may contain collapse by applying emergency encapsulation measures, walling off entire features like junk-filled rooms in a vast house.

If you bring in any more mercenary programmers, our codebase is going to pass the adobe threshold and collapse.

Get the adobe threshold mug.When a person (often fitness-athletes) uses photoshop to edit pictures of themselves, in order to look more muscular and lean. The term came from combining the word "gains" and Adobe Photoshop.
It was made popular after several Shredz-atlethes were exposed for editing their own photos before posting them, for example Paige Hathaway and Devin Zimmerman.

Get the Adobe Flash Day mug.A seemingly unbounded temporal freeze in the time continuum during a game played using Adobe Flash resulting in discomfort, irritability, and side line research of competitors of the player experiencing this time conundrum. If one waits long enough, the temporal freeze will dislodge itself resulting in the exile of one player and a cornucopia of confetti for the play that had the fortitude and steely resolve to withstand the frustration of not being able to participate in the chess version of the Hunger Games.

Get the Adobe Flash Gambit mug.The act of being conned by Adobe to install some bloatware, Google tool or desktop or McAfee malware simply because you click to download and install Adobe Flash or Reader too quickly and before the pre-checked additional bloatware box appears on the download webpage.
Go to www.adobe.com, click on Flash Player icon, click button to Download and install.... but wait a few seconds first and the preselected bloatware finally pops up is already checked and included if you miss it. If you find bloatware suddenly on your PC after installing an Adobe product.... you've been 'Adobe Conned!!!'

Get the Adobe Flash mug.Adobe Flash, also known as Adobe Flash Player, the Flash virus, or just simply Flash is a major computer virus that has been affecting multiple computer operating systems for over 10 years now. The virus disguises itself as a web game loader, so that stupid people download it, but in reality it opens your machine up to hundreds of security risks, and loads up tons of not only annoying but extremely CPU intensive advertisements on websites that often make your web browser either start to lag like crazy or just simply crash unless you have a very powerful computer (and even then it often leads to problems as the Flash system is so outdated it cant even perform well on many extremely powerful systems). My 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system could barely handle Flash ads, the CPU fan had to come on full speed to cool it as it ran so hot, just from ADS! Almost all computer security experts agree that Flash should NEVER be installed just for the security risks alone, never mind all the other stuff this virus leads to. Apple is one of the first companies to stop preinstalling Flash on their Macs, and it is not even installable on their mobile devices. It is recommended that if you have a PC or an older Mac that has Flash on it, you remove it immediately. You can find instructions on how to remove it by searching on Google. It is not detected by most major antivirus programs (as Adobe bribes them to not list it as a virus), so you will have to manually remove it.
Person 1: Did you know that Adobe Flash has had over 100 unaddressed major security holes for over a year now, leading to many extremely harmful viruses affecting PC's and Android phones, and even Macs?
Person 2: I don't care, I wanna watch my porno videos and play these poorly done games on Facebook!
