Having worked with all the methodology fads, I've found the JFDI techique to be the best.

Anybody who knows what any of those terms mean isn't a real developer.

I'd say any developer who doesn't know about such things to some degree is just a programmer.

Don't know that one, but'll hazard a guess D stands for "Do"?

Just twigged what that means.

Though I'd call it JFGOWI.

You could put these acronyms on a CV, "10 years experience with JFDIN" and get away with it I reckon.
