- [corrosion](https://github.com/corrosion-rs/corrosion) - The process that turns metal into rust (literally) but also a tool that "turns" C++ into Rust.
- [horcrux](https://github.com/jesseduffield/horcrux) - Splits a file into encrypted fragments that only together can be decrypted again. In the Harry Potter universe, Horcruxes are fragments of a persons soul. To kill the person, all fragments must be destroyed.
- [Puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) - A browser automation library. If the browser is the puppet, this is the puppeteer.

- [Firmware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware) - The _ware_ between _software_ and _hardware_.
- [Floating point number](https://floating-point-gui.de/formats/fp/) - This representation can encode numbers at very different magnitudes with limited amount of digits by letting the radix point _float_ instead of being fixed in place.
- [Framework](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework) - In software architecture (like in actual architecture) frameworks provide basic structure to build upon that guide and constrain the further development.
- [Glue Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue_code) - Jenga and LEGO bricks don't share the same interface but you can always glue them together.

- [Unfair enumeration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvLsVfq6cks&t=835s) - A program that outputs all even numbers and then all odd numbers generates an unfair enumeration of the natural numbers because some numbers are never reached.
- [Yoda condition](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/rules/yoda) - When you write `if ("red" === color) {` instead of `if (color === "red") {` because it reads as, “if red equals the color”, similar to the way the Star Wars character Yoda speaks.
