devsplaining

When a software developer explains why the application (formally known as, 'teh codes') acts in a certain way that is surprising to the non-technical user.

Often the engineer will accidentally come off as arrogant or boorish. This may be to compensate for the fact they are trying to pass off a bug as intended behavior.... or that they are just as confused by this behavior as the end-user.
