Preface:

The Developer’s Dictionary is a far-too-honest lexicographic excursion through the terms and phrases so commonly found in a technologist’s day. It is meant as a correct, if not entirely safe, explanation of the often-confusing buzzwords and terms used in programming, technology, and even in business (where it crosses the ever-day of the technical laborer).

It is written with a highly cynical eye and a flagrant expository hand. The choice of words is not always, but intended to be, precise. But the meaning of them is often obscured by the possibility of interpretation; or its impossibility, depending on the reader.

This work is an ever-draft: always in production, never finished, ever changing. For that reason, it is wholeheartedly unreliable.
