(Noun) A software developer whose primary motivation for programming is to afford a specific lifestyle rather than for the joy of coding, passion for the industry, or energy derived from the work. Often associated with digital nomads who work from various countries throughout the year.
(Slang) A programmer who prioritizes quick financial gain and the freedom to work remotely over maintaining best practices such as automatic testing, code quality, and team collaboration. Their focus on rapid feature launches often comes at the expense of long-term code sustainability.

Jake is a total lifestyle developer. He spends more time planning his next trip to Bali than ensuring his code is up to standard. Automated tests? Code quality? Team collaboration? Nah, as long as the money keeps rolling in, he's happy.
