Hiring Person: "Great, before you receive the deal I'd like you to quickly show me your code-writing-skills, just a precaution to be sure you are not an pretendgineer" Pretendgineer: "Well, actually I ain't really prepared to write right now BUT if you want I can send you a codesample by next week?

Term for a freshly developed community-app, which often reaches a "Unicorn-Status" within a short period of time. Once it's on the stock market, buyers refer to it as a "fitpick" (high valued and profitable company) or "blue chip" and therefore try to get hold of any possible stock shares.
Mr. Quainoo: "We are witnessing this highly regarded fitpick becoming a global player and a multi-million dollar company within a very short period of time!" Mr. Yamrali: "From now on there are no boundaries.."
