A Collection of Programmer Jargon

Below is what I’ve summarized so far; if you have more, say so in the comments — this will be updated irregularly.

A commenter posted https://www.urbandictionary.com/ — a website recording all kinds of abbreviations. When you meet one you don’t know, just look it up directly. So convenient — turns out someone had already done it.

LGTM

Looks good to me

Often used when a colleague has reviewed your code and thinks it’s fine — they’ll say this.

IMHO

In my humble opinion

Often used to humbly offer an opinion, hoping the other side “won’t slap a smiling face”.

F2F

face to face

Often when chatting software isn’t satisfying enough and you want to talk in person.

AFAIK

As far as I know

Also a humble way of putting it.

RTFM

Read The Fucking Manual

Asking the other party to read the docs. Unless the question is really basic, not recommended.

STFW

Search The Fucking Web

Asking the other party to use a search engine — like RTFM above, use with caution.

ASAP

As soon as possible

If your boss says this, you should consider speeding up.

NSFW

Not safe for work (don’t open at work!!)

Some Reddit or other forum post titles contain this phrase, warning you that slacking off should have a bottom line — don’t open this post during work hours. If you open it without noticing, the gazes of surrounding colleagues may make you remember this word.

AITA

Am I The Asshole

Common in reddit relationship/gossip posts XD.
