code debt

Code debt refers to the code clutter and required system maintenance accumulated over time during software development, especially when done in haste. The time required to clean up clutter and perform maintenance accrues as the development progresses, like interest on a regular debt, and must be paid down at some point to keep the project healthy.

We've been developing this open source project for a year, but with all the TODOs and commented out code, we probably have another years worth work to pay down the code debt!

comfort coding

After a long coding session with your awful superior at work, you start coding complete sense-numbing shit instead of eating twinkies.

In other words: coding to avoid comfort food.

My Superior: "Move this 5 px right. Color this blue. Center the text. Align the text right. No, center. Update AWS settings, wait, don't, color the previous thing green. why did you not update AWS settings?"

Me, the moment he leaves me the fuck alone:
*Splits random css files into smaller ones for 2 hours*
*COMFORT CODING*
