Codekas

Codekas is a mythical Greek family nestled primarily in Southern California. It has been said that the mysterious comedy writer, Theo C. Spendekas, is a member, yet sources remain unclear. Codekases are known for their literary and alcoholic prowess and crude sense of humor. If you find one, it might just very well be the most memorable meeting of your life. Do not anger a Codekas, it can lead to a verbal destruction the like that would make the Lord of Hosts Himself weep on your behalf.

Oh freak! wait.. really? Yes! I've got it!
I just had the most epic codegasm. I've spent weeks trying to fix this problem.

Wait... how are we going to fix it again?

Codebase Dysmorphism Syndrome or CDS for short, is a condition which programmer struggles with structuring, organizing, and defining their codebase. Individuals with CDS may have difficulty at doing things like naming variables with comically descriptive name or deciding if they should use camelCase or snake_case for their files, often these symptoms causes by stuff such as lack of code standards or being worried with future backward compatibility issue.

essentially it is like an existential crisis, but for your code.

Steampunk Codebase

A collection of code that works but is clearly the sole result of necessity, genius, or insanity. Steampunked code typically combines odd technologies and libraries in a way that makes an engineer do a double-take. Also characterized as a collection of code components that engender a response of "WTF?" by new codebase participants due to it not being apparent why the fuck someone would do such a thing. Steampunk codebases, when not rationalizable as truly necessary, drive good software engineers nuts in a visceral, usually quite loud, manner and can result in rebellion and heavy attrition if not addressed responsibly.
"Take a look at this steampunk codebase! Can you believe this shipped? I can't figure out whether the programmer who wrote this nuts or genius."
