Dog fooding

Alternate form of dogfood. Refers to the practice of expecting software developers to use the products they produce.

Our software has had fewer bugs since our programmers embraced dog fooding.

dogfooding (to dogfood)

In a nutshell, dogfooding means "using your own product". A product which is being dogfooded tends to be a lot more polished. When a normal user is annoyed by the product, they can't do anything about it. But when a developer is annoyed by the product, they can stop what they are doing and make the product less annoying.

In the past I've always dogfooded new builds for a while before making them
release candidates.

Dogfooding

The sexual act of licking and eating shit/clinkers from another persons arsehole. Thus creating a similar image of a dog having its tea.

My girlfriend had a shit last night, but didn’t wipe properly so I ended up dogfooding her all night.
