Developer's Twist 

1. When you finally beat a boss you've been struggling on, only to see that it has a second, even more difficult phase.

2. When a game, such as a platformer, is advertised as one genre only for it to be a different genre entirely in the actual game.
1. "Oh shit, this is a Developer's Twist kind of boss, isn't it?"

2. "The person who made this RPG pulled a Developer's Twist! I thought is was gonna be cute from the ads, but it's terrifying!"

Game Developer Syndrome 

Game Developer Syndrome (GDS, or game-dev syndrome) is a very common mental disability in which a game developer loses all semblance of the ability to make a balanced, enjoyable gameplay experience. This can be anything ranging from unfun and unbalanced multi-player combat to a long, drawn out, and/or grindy single-player experience. Mostly caused by developers gaining a massive ego off a random burst of sales, but also caused by being a AAA game developer.

Full Stack Developer 

Like being a sexual switch, but for web developers. Full stack developers typically flex their submissive nature by bragging that they can do everything in web dev, but the reality is that they're letting their employers use them. Just like a switch.
Guy 1: "Are you a top or a bottom?"
Guy 2: "I'm a Full Stack Developer, so I'm both"
Guy 1: "Pussy, have some balls"

Software Developer 

An overpaid artisan who uses unoriginal ideas and code that has already been written. Spends most of his time listening to music while spending hundreds of hours on design projects that will never reach fruition.
