rage code
Furiously programming out of anger due to being ignored, rejected, or dumped by a girl, or for simply having made a dumbass mistake earlier in the day. Usually leads to something amazing.
(friday afternoon)
Friend: Yo waddup, any plans for tonight?
Rage coder: nah, just got rejected by a Joanna. hurts. (opens a beer, turns on computer)
Friend: Aw sorry man, forget her. You wanna hit up some bars then?
Rage coder: no, i'm gonna rage code and make the next Facebook
(monday morning)
Friend: oh shit dude, you alright? you look like you haven't slept/eaten/showered in three days!
Rage coder: yeah i just launched my new site two hours ago. I got half a million views and just got a call from Andreessen Horowitz, looking to invest.

Code Rage
The feeling a programmer has towards another programmer (or team) when working with their shoddy code.
This poorly designed application is giving me code rage: I'm supposed to add these three features by next week, but I still can't make heads or tails of their clusterfuck of code. If I meet the guys who made this, I'm going to kill them.
Code Rage
The sate of mind unique to programmers who have an inexplicable bug.
The symptoms:
One may spot a programmer experiencing code rage by the rictus of contorted disgust on their pallid, cater-pocked face, bloodshot eyes reflecting the hellish glare of the monitor.
Code ragees are not rational beings, and are liable to display acts of egregious cruelty and barbarism to those over whom they have dominion.
That is to say, insects and risible fantasy characters from Risk.
The cure:
i) The bug is located and neutered. An inflatedly jubilant sense of one's computational prowess in the face of seemingly irrepugnable difficulty finally gives way to nirvana.
ii) In the absence of a solution, eventually a sense of resigned calmness settles uneasily on the over-burdened shoulders of the poor wretch. Time is a great healer, but the programmer will never be quite the same again. There is a crushing realization that in the epic battle between will-power and won't-power, incompetence won the day.

Code Rage
An event of coding frantically without distraction in order to meet a deadline or please impatient clients in a short period of time.

Developer 2: "Code Rage?"
Developer: "Code Rage!"
Developer 2: "Code Rage?"
