- Cowboy Code
- Any unmanaged, undocumented, or otherwise unknown piece of code that runs a business process which provides a modicum of value to the organization. Cowboy Code is normally created in a heat-of-the-moment fashion to solve an unplanned business process or to fix an unexpected emergency and is left to run unmonitored and forgotten until the day it breaks. Cowboy code may also include inappropriate uses of technology or unnecessary uses of technology to “showboat” in an attempt to get attention. Cowboy Code does not have any auditing, logging, or reporting mechanisms and the programmer that wrote the code has typically long since left the organization.
- CTRL-F Navigation
- CTRL-F Navigation is the primary navigation mechanism for websites that become too convoluted as to be navigated by the built-in website menu. CTRL-F is a feature in all web browsers that allows the user to search the text on a webpage for certain keywords. CTRL-F Navigation is typically used to find a hyperlink containing the keyword you are after. For example you may use CTRL-F to find common navigational items such as: Search, Login, Logout, or Signup. CTRL-F only works if the link you are after is text-based and not an image or a button.
