CS Fix My Shit Fallacy
The false assumption that anyone who can code or has a computer science degree can fix your computer or any household electronics.
Marco: Hey you study Computerz at that fancy university don' you? Could you fix my toaster? Julian: Hell no. Why would I know how to do something like that. Marco: Because computerz are basically more advance toasterz.

Code Couple
Programming partners (in work or school) that are also involved with one another romantically.
Jeremy and Liz are the hottest code couple at Stanford. I hear after finishing their compilers projects they hold hands and read quantum computing books until both their bodies are exhausted.

Pistol Ship
To ship one's code without checking it. This is normally done out of a combination of hubris and laziness.

Negging
To undermine the confidence of somebody to gain advantage in a situation. On Silicon Valley, VC firms neg Richard to bring down the valuation of Pied Piper but Erlich counters by "negging the neg" to create funding demand for their startup.

The Rift
A title given to denote virtual reality. Popularized by people who have spent immense amounts of time in an Oculus Rift headset and were unable to fully communicate the things they had seen and experienced while present in what they consider a different realm.
Recruiter: Why should we hire you for our VR division? Jack: Aye. In my time I have seen many things in the Rift. Things the likes of you, could never imagine... Recruiter: Why are you crying? Jack: I held my virtual daughter in my arms as the light vanished from her eyes. I fought dragons in Russia trying to protect the refugees of a city that's now burnt to the ground. I spent almost two years in isolation in the Rift reading about the ancient tombs of Java Script and Lisp. I'm hoping that this position will help me forget about my past. My time in the Rift. Recruiter: Why am I crying...

Medium Data
The hipster data scientist's new topic of discussion. “Big Data” has become a meaningless cliché, so much so that complaining about Big Data being a cliché is also a cliché.
PM: Can you look at this set of big data? It is 200GB.
Data scientist: That is actually only medium data according to yourdatafitsinram.github.io

Three Commas Club
Three commas to imply a billion dollars as $1,000,000,000 has 3 commas. To be in the three commas club is to be a billionaire.
Richard’s literalness remains the one thing to rattle Russ. “You know what has three commas in it, Richard?” “A sentence with two appositive phrases in it?”

Jack Dorsey
Founder of Square and Twitter. He reads alot of books on self-improvement and tries to build a zen-like culture within the work place like a poor man's Phil Jackson.
Jack Dorsey made us hold hands after the meeting today in a circle. It was awkward because I hear Stacy doesn't wash her hands after going to the bathroom.

Vestigial Code
A code probably once served a purpose, but doesn't anymore. You're afraid of removing it because after years it just looks right the way it is.
In evolutionary biology vestigial organs are the ones an organism probably once used but no longer serve a purpose today.
James: Dude help me debug my new one button app, "Dude."
Zeeshan: What is all this? None of it serves a purpose.
James: It's vestigial code that makes gives me confidence when making something new. I've just built everything on top of my dayspan code from freshman year until now. I commented it out, don't worry.
Zeeshan: You're a terrible human being, you know that?
