hate coded and optimized

You "hate coded", BUT you went backed, and fixed the solution with better code (examples: more elegant algorithm, efficient use of memory, better performance, better use of data structures, easier to read and/or maintain, added comments, added unit testing, etc)

I solved day 3 of the Advent of Code, and I hate coded and optimized a solution.

jimbo code

A snippet of code that would make any sensible developer raise their eyebrows over their head

Jake: Hey Lorey, did you get the GLua snippet from Mr. X?

Jake: *Takes a look, raises eyebrow to ceiling*
Lorey: What's wrong?
Jake: It's... It's jimbo code...

Lorey: Oh god...

Oikuy code

The Oikuy code is a modern code used on phones. It uses the symbols corresponding to the letters to spell out the word. The symbol corresponding to the word is found on the top right of the key. For example: the symbol for q is +

An example of the Oikuy code is this: ×&!/÷:÷= (spells out whatever)

Pyrite code

Pyrite code is what occurs when a finished program is subjected to constant tinkering and updates, resulting in frequent glitches and bugs. The term stems from gold code, which is what programmers call a finished program, minus any patches or fully-formed updates; the code is golden. Pyrite is also known as fool's code.

"Man, Skype is so messed up now, it's full of pyrite code."
"AOL back in the day was totally pyrite code."

Morse-code manuscript

A.k.a. "intermittent ink", this term describes the muddled mess of random "dots 'n' dashes" that you typically end up with when feverishly trying to scribble notes with a ballpoint pen on anything but totally "clean 'n' pristine" writing-paper, or when attempting to hastily jot down a few words while holding your paper up against a vertical wall, where gravity ceases to aid ink-flow to the pen-tip.

The infuriating "Morse-code manuscript" debacle tends to manifest itself all the more whenever you're either in a stew or pressed for time, since your hands will tend to perspire a lot more during "nerved up" periods like this, and so the ink will not readily adhere to all of the damp/salty/greasy spots where you've been holding the paper steady while writing. Also, if the paper itself is not the best (like if its surface is excessively flaky/textured, or is coated with a foreign substance, like a cash-register receipt), you may have problems here, as well; this is an especially exasperating dilemma because this type of "inferior" foolscap-scrap may sometimes be the only writing-material that's handy at the time when you unexpectedly have to scrawl down a phone number or other important info/reminder, and so you may encounter this debacle more frequently/unavoidably than you might expect.
