BDD – Boss-Driven Development – Whatever new feature your <attention>Boss</attention> mentions becomes priority 1. Is that clear?

CD – Cautious Deployment – Yes, we do CD. We deploy quarterly, as soon as we get all the required sign offs.

CDD – Conference-Driven Development – Next deadline? Conf X! What features should we deliver? The ones that will impress attendees of Conf X! (BTW. this is one quite normal & even expected for startups at some stage.)

CDD – Complaint-Driven Development – Show your app to people, listen to their complaints, select the top ones & fix them (source: https://blog.codinghorror.com/complaint-driven-development/)

CVDD – CV-Driven Development – What cool new buzzwords would you like to have in your CV?

DDD – Debugger-Driven Design – write code easy to debugging (lot of local vars, strange line splitting, etc.)

DRY – Do Repeat Yourself – Oh, so you are also being paid by the lines of code written, aren’t you?

KIES – Keep It Extremely Sophisticated – Why? Because it is fun! Strictly related to “Job Security” concept and CVDD.
