CF

A commonly used term in the development world. It stands for cluster…well..you guess the rest. And basically, most things are in the development world. That’s what we call “job security”.

Indification

In my vocabulary, this is the hiring/converting/etc of an IT department to either your same race, people of the same low-intelligence level, or the push to use your relatives as development resources. Included in here is hiring your neighbor as CTO just because he was a developer at Google with no managerial experience and hiring an Indian manager that immediately hired nothing but Indians under her. This term was coined at the last place I worked, due to seemingly endless swarm of Indians coming into our office, the apparent push to only use Indian off-shore firms, etc.

XML

Similar to HTML, it is basically text laid out by usage of tags and attributes. And in SalesForce.com’s case, it’s also shoved into HTML body tags when being submitted to web services.

XSD

XML Schema Definitions are usually used for validating your XML before doing something with it. Although, most places you work with choose to ignore this validation, as it must be a waste of time. That is why you get places submitting XML in HTML (see XML).

WTF

Heh - do I really need to explain what this stands for?
