employeeNumbaOne over 8 years agoEmail Bankruptcy
When an inbox has thousands of unread emails, and the best solution is to just mass-delete rather than spending days combing through them.
If you really tried to read and respond to all of those messages, it might be a very long time before you interacted with another human IRL again.
"My inbox is so overwhelming, I'm declaring email bankruptcy. I'm deleting everything sent before September!"

yungsnuggie over 9 years agoThe Social Network Effect
This can reference the effect in which an online community gives life and growth to a software application.
It can also give reference to the hypothesized phenomenon that software startup incorporation increased in correlation to the film "The Social Network."
This was one of the first films where hacker culture as we know it was displayed in commercial theaters for the world to observe in a highly dramatic way and perhaps inspired people to try to soar before they could walk.
I've observed the social network effect in Orange County in that everyone I seem to meet wants to do a software startup, but none of them want to learn how build a business or learn how to talk to software engineers without sounding stupid.

Backdooring someone is purposely leaving a security vulnerability in the form of code that's sometimes purposely put in by the programmer. This is done to later have the ability to sabotage the company/person they are building it for, usually in case he or she gets screwed over by them somehow or are just bored.
Just to be a complete dick, Jack backdoored his brother in law's resume website, when building it for him to purposely make pictures of cats pop up whenever a user clicks anywhere. On thursdays he changes it from cats to pandas.
