bitbucker 

An IT person with the knowledge of implementing cryptocurrency mining algorithms in unusual places. A bitbucker can be consulted to transform existing irrelevant code into heavy mining systems that can be fine-tuned so that its performance hit can be perceived as performance issues in the irrelevant code. Key to a successful bitbucker implementation is that it can be dialed up/down over time to give the illusion of progress of bug-fixing the spoofed performance issues.
Soon we'll start with bitbucker for front-end, we'll squash those performance issues in no-time!
