Bums... what?"Bums" is German colloquial speech. It's literal meaning is something like "loud bang" or "loud pop". It's often used by younger people to devalue things, so "bumscode" means something along the lines of "shitcode" or "crapcode". Think of "bums" like the "f" in "wtf".
The origin of "bumscode" is not 100% clear, but a group of coders at the company
kris is working at, has been using it consistently in code reviews and meetings to refer to bad or not working code. So it's kind of an in-joke.
