configicide

It combines "config," referring to configuration files or settings, and the suffix "-cide," which is used in words denoting the act of killing or destroying. So, "configicide" would specifically mean the act of destroying or 'killing' important configuration, unintentionally or not, by a team member.

I have just committed configicide do we have a backup?

I thought I was just cleaning up old files, but it turned out to be a total configicide; I deleted the configuration files that were actually in use.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
