Debugging, approving, tasking: a mini-dictionary of slang and professional vocabulary of programmers

How often have you heard mysterious terms from your IT specialist friends, such as push or deploy? Most likely very often. If you are just learning to program or have gotten your first job as a developer, then some terms from the IT field may be unfamiliar. We have created a mini-dictionary of slang and professional vocabulary: knowing IT terms, it will be easier for beginners to get used to their first job. We tried to include in the dictionary the current vocabulary of IT specialists (most often these are Anglicisms), which are used today in IT companies, but did not take such obvious words as “jun” or “galley”, because today these terms have become widely known. Assign (from the English assign - entrust) - assign a task to a person as an executor. Example of use: Attach (from the English attach - attach, load) - used in the same sense as in English. For example, you can send an email with an attached file. Example of use: “Attach a file with documentation to the letter.” Approval (from the English approve - approve) - approval, approval or confirmation of something. Example of use: “I won’t start a new task because I expect you to approve the previous one.” Bench (from the English bench - bench, bench) - standby mode. “Bench programmer” means that the programmer is idle waiting for a new project/task and, in fact, does nothing, but receives a salary. Usage example: Bug (from the English bug ) is an error in a program/code due to which the results of program execution are incorrect. Example of use: “Can we take the task with that bug into this sprint?” Deploy (from the English deploy - deployment) - is used in programming in its direct meaning, that is, to refer to the deployment (transfer) of software to a server or device where it should function. Usage example: “During my career, I have seen quite a lot of ways to deploy configs and I am sure that everyone can learn something new about it.” Build (from the English to build ) is a process when program code is converted from a programming language into a machine code language. Example of use: Dump (from the English dump - throw, throw away) - a file with a full or partial copy of the contents of the computer memory or database at the time of creation of this file. Very often, dumps are used to create and maintain an up-to-date backup system. Usage example: “How did you create the dump: using phpMyAdmin or through a console window?” Commit _ _- commit) - a commit is, as a rule, a piece of code added by a programmer as part of solving a given problem. To commit or commit is to add part of a commit to the code, respectively. Example of use: “I committed the edits there and pushed them into the master, you can deploy.” Debug (from the English debug - debugging) - debugging code, i.e. Finding and fixing errors in the code. Example of use: Ping (from the English ping - hit with a knock) - remind someone of something, let them know. Example for use: “Ping me at the end of the day, otherwise I might forget about our rally.” Code refactoring (from the English refactoring ) is a change in the source code of a program in order to simplify and facilitate its understanding and further support. With the help of refactoring, the code becomes cleaner, errors and bottlenecks in the code are corrected. Usage example: “We need to look at the code of this old application and refactor it.” Stand-up (from the English stand-up meeting - “meeting on feet”) is essentially a good old planning meeting or meeting. Traditionally, a stand-up takes 15 minutes and is held daily at the beginning of the working day. Example of use: Story (from the English story - history) is the root task describing the requirements for development; it contains subtasks assigned to developers of different positions. Example of use: “In our user store, you first need to enter a promotional code, and then show the checkout total.” Feature (from the English feature - characteristic feature) - feature, unique property. There is a popular expression - “This is not a bug, but a feature.” Usage example: “This feature saved the game and made it popular.” Task (from the English task - task) is a task or task that is set for the developer. Example of use: Fix or fix (from the English fix - fix) - correct errors. Usage example: “I’ll quickly fix this bug, but tomorrow I’ll need to test the code.” How would you add to our mini-dictionary? Write in the comments the words that you use every day in your work.
