data scientist

Something like a business analyst who writes code, a hacker with social skills, or a software engineer that knows math.
Also just someone management has decided is a "data scientist".

Even though I am a data scientist, I don't think it's specific enough to describe what I do.

bodge

A bodge is a fast and convenient, often temporary, solution. Bodges often require modification before working under a slightly different set of conditions. A good bodge improves quality of life and stays within the safety limits its creator is comfortable with, who possesses a conscious risk model and is prepared to respond to and accept backfire.

noun: bodge, bodges (plural)
adjective: bodged, bodge-like
verb: bodge, bodging, bodges, bodged
adverb: bodgedly

They bodged a chair from the stump.

While not in any normal dictionary, the word 'bodgedly' is something I've used; it itself was a logical bodge, and I'm sure I'm not the first to do so.

I love bodging with AutoHotkey too, but be careful that doesn't execute on a different window.

I couldn't get the blinds to stay down in the party bus, so I tied them to my chair. I'm a bodge master.

I don't dare look at the CSS; bodge on, my friend.

dick move

"Magnus withdrawing from the Sinquefield Cup is the definition of a dick move", says Ben Finegold during a casual stream.
Context:
Magnus Carlsen is the best chess player in the world. After losing a match against a significantly lesser player, Hans Niemann, Magnus withdrew from the tournament. Middle school drama ensued as people began to speculate that Magnus was implicitly calling Hans a cheater.

It's a dick move to withdraw from the cup like that; it's basically unheard of since Bobby Fischer.

R

An old programming language built for data science. A glorified, extremely useful calculator, that starts counting at 1 instead of 0.

I only switch from R to Python to do deep learning. --And to improve the performance of certain large scale processes ...Sigh, I really need to learn Julia.
