Steampunk Codebase


a collection of code that works but is clearly the sole result of necessity, genius, or insanity. steampunked code typically combines odd technologies and libraries in a way that makes an engineer do a double-take. also characterized as a collection of code components that engender a response of “wtf?” by new codebase partic-p-nts due to it not being apparent why the f-ck someone would do such a thing. steampunk codebases, when not rationalizable as truly necessary, drive good software engineers nuts in a visceral, usually quite loud, manner and can result in rebellion and heavy attrition if not addressed responsibly.
“take a look at this steampunk codebase! can you believe this shipped? i can’t figure out whether the programmer who wrote this nuts or genius.”
