Syntaxing
-
Syntaxing (verb) - The action (or art) of computer programming [hackery]. Syntaxing is what any good programmer does during the hours of [9 to 5]. Only elite and high-level programmers refer to their trade as Syntaxing. Low level programmers are [not worthy] of referring to their work as Syntaxing.
-
v. (Present active. Past tense: Syntaxed) The act of a person pointing out mistakes in another persons code not related the ideas itself but rather to the construction of the code in the current language. Generally considered pedantic unless explicitly solicited, since modern compilers will do this by default, and some IDEs even point out the error prior to compile time.
Related to syntax (in the programming sense). If the [syntaxing] is pointing to a correct case, the case is a [syntax error]. When a [compiler] throws the error, it is a compile-time error. When the IDE points it out, it is a compile warning.
