A Rustacean is a homosexual child predator species that is mostly found in basements. They like to lurk on the internet and rant about how rewriting every existing piece of software in Rust will improve our future and stop climate change, despite the language itself being very unreliable and unstable. Rust is so unstable that a program written in it has a 49% chance of self-destructing.

Usually a Rustacean will claim that Rust is better than C++ because it is "memory-safe," unlike C++.
In reality, Rust doesn't have any runtime memory safety checking or a garbage collector. Only the compiler predicts and warns the developer.

Rustaceans write code that simply tricks the compiler.

Rustacean: Rust is the best language out there! Not only is it low-level, but it is also memory-safe with minimal memory management. If we rewrote {software written in either C or C++} in Rust, then it would be so much better!

Ordinary developer: If you hate memory management so much, then why opt for a low-level language to begin with? There are languages like Go, C#, and Java that have nearly the same speed as a compiled language yet are actually memory-safe with garbage collection.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
