Quote: Has anyone here ever been called Code Monkey?
Yes, but never by a professional. It all depends on how you see the term. I tend to take it as a complement - actually. You're agile and limber enough to swing through the mazes of code. And they're one of the smarter species...
If it was continually used in a professional environment, I'd slowly lose respect for the source. It's like calling an architect an origami maker - sure, it might go together pretty, but does anybody care for more than a few weeks?
When I talk to people who don't even know what source code is, I open an editor window and say "This is what we go through every time you find a bug!"

I interpret "Code Monkey" as a term of endearment, and I call myself this all the time. I am a simple creature who loves to play with code. I do not take offense from this term

The first time I heard the term was by an employee who referred to himself as a Code Monkey. I didn't think anything about it except it was a humorous moniker. My take from him was that he was happy just sitting in his office as long as we kept throwing him bananas (paying him) and giving him fun toys to play with (cool programming problems).

I referred myself as a code monkey once to express my displeasure in a sudden role change for a project I was "supposed" to have deep involvement in.. I was given opportunity to have an active part in nearly every aspect from design to deployment.. Then one day I get word that the Architect is leveraging a 3rd party solution for the backend and he already presented a UX design with the business side. Already prototyped and mocked up the UI and established the technology requirements.. Screens and navigation were essentially done and approved. I was just to hook up the plumbing in the middle tier and maybe some fit and polish work.. While not a trivial piece of work, having the carpet pulled out from under me and reduced to final cleanup and assembly didn't sit well.
So in that context, the name was properly used to highlight exactly how I felt I was treated.

Just laugh and let him know that the current PC term is "Software Simian."

0) Coil needs to be replaced in the house A/C - $3400
1) My computer died this morning. I think the CPU got fried because the cooling fan went tits up while I was at work yesterday.
2) Dogs killed a possum, a cat, and a rabbit this morning. They immediately followed that up with trying to snatch birds out of mid-air (they've succeeded at this on several occasions).

You might have written a such bad code that took too many cycles to execute instructions heating up the CPU, knocking down the cooling fan, which lead to increase in room temperature.. & that led to the A/C overload and an eventual break down.
Looking at all these the dogs went mad and got into serial killing mode. Case closed.

Brilliant!!! So the moral of the story is Bad Code Kills.. It has now officially been linked to Global Climate change, emotional and social instability, economic distress, and erratic (apparently sometimes deadly) behavior in animals.

Believe me, the possum, the cat, and the rabbit had crappier day then yours. Also to avoid waste you could use the coil and a little firewood to grill them.

Losing three small animals, especially if they are pets, is tough. Consoling kids at home, after this, is tougher.

I would estimate the probabilities that one or more of the possum, cat, and rabbit were not pets ... of JSOP ... are high.
Of course, if they were the pets of anybody, I, also, commiserate.

How come you never post about good days bro?

0) Because I live in America.
1) Good days aren't nearly as interesting.
2) I tried it a couple of times, and the messages were pretty much ignored (nobody else thinks it's interesting either).
3) I'm not one to ponder rainbows and wish for unicorns.

True, but exceptional days are.

I agree with 0 and 1, but kudos to your dogs for #2, unless of course it's your cat.
