The semi-permanent paralysis of the arms, hands and wrists evident in computer programmers who eschew use of the mouse in favor of short cut key combinations. The condition is recognizable by the frozen position of one's arms bent inwards, wrists bent outwards and fingers snarled into a useless tangle of digits.

A rockstar programmer is a programmer who becomes popular not because of technical achievement, but rather by the volume of fanboys who blindly consume his/her products. He or she poses in numerous techie magazines, giving interviews about nothing but Web 2.0 poetry, and attending totally useless "conventions".
DHH is a rockstar programmer.

some old fart(usually 40-60 years old) that started with programming back in the 50s-60s-70s, and only codes in machine code(or with bin and hexa...and MAYBE Assembly if he's feeling lazy).
they usually hate most of the "new" stuff like IDE, and newer languages...
google "Story of Mel" and "real programmer" for more info ;)

A person or individual that acts as a facilitator and/or middleman between the programmer(s) and another 2nd party or 3rd party (ie: marketing dept. management, customer, company, etc...). A Programmer Liaison can help explain what is actually possible from a technical person(s) standpoint (the programmer) to a non-technical person(s) which can result in a better business environment for any company.
I think we will need to have the Programmer Liaison explain to the Marketing Department in common language what is actually possible when creating our company website from a technical standpoint.
