devloper 

A software developer so inattentive in their work to the point that they misspell their job title and don't notice the red squiggles under the word.

Usually a devloper is someone who produces little or no useful work. The issues they cause tend to cause significantly more work for others than productive work they themselves actually achieve.

Depending on experience level may be a junior devloper, and somehow eventually becomes a senior devloper, nobody knows why they got promoted or why they are still employed, but is often suspected that they have incriminating photographs of their boss.
That guy is such a devloper, he just wasted a day due to an unplugged network cable.

Developer Friendly 

User Friendly is a common phrase to describe software that is user friendly. Developer Friendly would be used to describe the opposite. Seems corporate software is being written and developed by millenials that are thinking how quick their week is going to be since they don't work more than a few hours, from home, Tuesday till noon Friday.
Write it, test it, critique it, publish it. Well that is easy to use, I'll roll it out Monday.
Dustin: Steve, did you see the new IT request for a company assigned cell phone?

Steve: Sure did Dustin, I couldn't figure out which one I needed, a cell phone a smartphone or a mobile phone.

Dustin: For sure.....dude that developed the software knows how to use it.....he made it "Developer Friendly" not "User Friendly".

Developer lunch 

An extended lunch break as favored by software developers. Often runs to 3hrs and is typically followed by up to 2hrs of non-work related conversation, e.g. regarding favorite cheeses, upon finally returning to the office. Heartily ignored by management who would clamp down on any other department taking such a lax attitude to work.
Jojo has gone for a developer lunch at the KFC 5miles away so don't expect to get that critical bug fixed this afternoon.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
