'It works on my machine' driven development

Either no one will show you how to set up the local dev environment, or no one knows how to, so you can't run the codebase locally... but whatever you wrote works on the reviewers machine and runs on prod!

Black Box Oriented Development

Where you can't validate the problem or solution, and people who claim you should solve the problem won't give you access to their codebase or a reproduction.

Narrative Driven Development

Phantom failures of CI

Schroedinger's Litter Box

It's not clear whether the cat is in the box, or the cat crapped in the box.

Stakeholder driven development

Where the problem and the solution of the product a team develops is defined by the expertise of stakeholders instead of evidenced based research and user testing.

Stupid work

Work that is not worth doing but you have to do it anyway
