programming hipster

A software programmer that probably writes in Ruby, JavaScript or some other "popular but nonetheless probably crap" language. Typically more "artsy fartsy" types than an actual computer scientist. Millennial generation. Street clothing at all times. Hardware stack is entirely Apple-based. High concentrations exist in Shoreditch of London and Bay Area of San Francisco.

I went to a software conference last week and there was so many programming hipsters there talking about their shitty dynamically typed languages.

Facebook's Witness Relocation Program

When your Facebook is full of a bunch of random friends, you lose control of who sees your information.....so you have to create a new Facebook account where in which you only add your "real friends."

Suzie Q. realized her boss was a friend on her Facebook account, so she couldn't put anything fun up so as not to dis-impress her boss. So, she became one of many to join the new trend of partaking in Facebook's Witness Relocation Program and made a new Facebook and put up all of her crazy pictures and only added her "real friends."

program failure

A euphemism for someone who keeps getting in trouble in prison and whose “points” will consequently go up, leading them to a higher security prison setting.

We can’t just wake up one day and say, “Man, I’m gonna move outta this place,” so we just keep rackin’ up the write-ups until we’re labeled a program failure so we can get a change in scenery!

Ghost Programmer

In software development, "Ghost Programmer" is a programmer that works for another person's task and receives no credit. This applies for programmers who doesn't have any project assigned to him/her; yet he is forced to join a certain team in a project and works for them secretly making sure the client would not know. When a ghost programmer finished his assigned task, the name/credits that will be written in the code and the document is the one who was originally assigned to that certain task.

Boss: Our project is delayed. We need help from someone. John, can you help with this bug fix?
John: Sure.

After 4 hours..

John: Boss, i'm finished.
Boss: Okay, since you're a ghost programmer, the client should not know about it.. So, the name you should write on the code and the document is the programmer who is originally assigned to it. Okay? :)
John: Okay. (Man! I'm such a ghost programmer. I also want some credits.. )
