弱弱的问下,code monkey是啥意思?
The term code monkey generally refers to a computer programmer or other person who writes computer code for a living. More specifically, it refers to a person only capable of grinding out code, but unable to perform the more intellectually complex tasks of software architecture, analysis, and design. The term is thus considered mildly insulting, and is often applied to the most junior people on a programming team.
"Code Monkey" also applies to anyone held back from proper systems development lifecycle methodology and flow, simply by time constraints or the office political spectrum, more specifically ad hoc environments. If planning and design phases are done in haste, requirements are not outlined clearly or assumptions are made, everyone in the organization suffers. Code Monkeys are more prevalent on Death March projects.
"Code Monkeys" are considered to lack intellectual capability in seeing the 'Big Picture' and are often myopic when it comes to business sense. They are typically characterized to be content with their insignificant status and are often depicted to be bad with women, lacking basic social skills.
"Code monkey" may also be used self-deprecatingly in griping about or denying responsibility for management decisions (e.g. "Don't ask me why we need to write a compiler in COBOL, I'm just a code monkey.").[ |
