un-pretzel

The undoing of a large software development project. Generally involves removing half the code from a 6-12 month project over the course of a few weeks, making sure to send the commits to the original engineers who worked on it along with a virtual gift of a "pretzel stick".

Original Engineer: Dude, just finished this project. Took like 8 months of slaving 90 hour weeks.
Other Engineer: Damn, its done though, time for ??? then profit!
---2 months pass---
Other Engineer: Hey you want an un-pretzel?
Original Engineer: What's that?
Other Engineer: All the code I deleted that you wrote.
Original Engineer: :((((((((((((((((((((((((
