A program that doesn't require installation, meaning you don't need administrator privileges to use it, and doesn't require a crack/keygen. Similar to a preactivated program, except it's all packed into one simple .exe file, with no or very few supporting files.
An easy way to avoid installing a program and taking up to much space, is downloading a Portable Program.

Programming Socks are socks that are often required to perform coding. It is commonly stated that programming is a equipment sport, and this is true.
First guy: Hey, yo, I was trying to fix atmospherics in this dumb space game I play, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it in the code.
Second guy: Have you tried putting on your programming socks?
First guy: Oh, no, I probably should've of tried that earlier.
First guy then puts on a pair of programming socks
First guy: wow this code is so easy to make now!

A common annoyance suffered after long hours of programming, resulting in the switching of normal punctuation with programming syntax.
"I have the worst programming hangover today."
Examples of symptoms of a Programming Hangover:
"The cat is white;"
"I just read a new Book()."
"The hypotenuse of a triangle is the Math.sqrt of its sides squared."
"Don't forget to #include<citations> in your paper."

The practice of programming a computer without touching an input device of any kind, such as a keyboard or mouse. Easily confused with doing nothing at all.

Programming socks are long tubular socks typically 60cm - 80cm (24" - 31") in length from the heel. Contrary to popular belief such socks are more popular with men than women. Additionally, the socks inhibit a buff increasing the naturally occurring levels of dopamine causing a chain reaction leading to increased coding ability in lower-level programming languages such as Assembly or the C languages. Programming socks are highly correlated with the crossdressing, femboy, trans and programming community.
Astolfo: ugh, this code just doesn't make sense, why are the pointers not working?!?
Felix: Bro, you forgot your programming socks.
Astolfo: Shoot, one second.
... Some time passes and Astolfo puts on his programming socks ...
Astolfo: pff, this was an easy fix, how couldn't I see I needed to use an asterisk? Thanks for reminding me, Felix.

A software programmer that probably writes in Ruby, JavaScript or some other "popular but nonetheless probably crap" language. Typically more "artsy fartsy" types than an actual computer scientist. Millennial generation. Street clothing at all times. Hardware stack is entirely Apple-based. High concentrations exist in Shoreditch of London and Bay Area of San Francisco.
I went to a software conference last week and there was so many programming hipsters there talking about their shitty dynamically typed languages.
