Can we PLEASE stop using Code + Ninja, Pirate, Monkey, Shaman, Cosmonaut, Santa Claus, etc..



I actually wouldn't mind being called a Code Santa, it sounds pretty awesome actually.

Except, given my coding abilities, I would more resemble Robot Santa from Futurama.


Gave me a chuckle. Code Santa does sound pretty awesome doesn't it?


Yes, but not before we all stop trying to suck the fun out of language.


No. It's ok, really. Just consider it another (more interesting) way of saying 'senior' or 'experienced' without implying any kind of age, years-of-experience or (worse) educational-level-completed requirement.
